About Xanadu:
Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to
people everywhere.
At Xanadu, we are learners, innovators, researchers, collaborators and problem
solvers. We are creating something that has never been built before. What we
are doing is extremely hard, the classic moon shot. Few people in their life
will be able to be a part of something like this, where if we are successful,
the technologies we develop will solve some of the world’s most challenging
problems and literally change the world. And that is something to be excited
about!
Your role and responsibilities
You will be a core contributor to the platform and infrastructure supporting our
cutting-edge photonics research. You will work on a team to support Hardware
R&D, Hardware Operations, Cloud Infrastructure, and Developer Enablement. The
Tools Team’s primary goal is to help accelerate the Hardware Team’s timelines to
build the first commercially viable quantum computer. We are reshaping the
nature of computation, and your work will directly impact this moonshot
endeavor.
- Develop and Maintain Software Tooling: Design, build, deploy, and maintain
robust software for data management, internal tools, and communication
systems that streamline hardware development and operations
- Data Pipeline & Serving Layer Design: Architect and implement efficient data
processing pipelines and serving layers, primarily interacting with standard
relational and NoSQL databases
- Collaboration with Hardware Engineers: Work closely with hardware experts to
design and implement bespoke solutions for photonics chip designers research
and development, including data processing and analysis
- High-Quality Code & DevOps: Ensure production-ready code through automated
testing, rigorous code reviews, and contribute to CI/CD pipelines (GitHub
Actions)
We primarily utilize Python, Rust, Postgres, Docker, Terraform, CI pipelines,
and AWS. Proficiency in these technologies is essential.

with a strong focus on data-centric applications and systems
- Core Skills: Expertise in Python, SQL, and designing/implementing data
transformation and loading processes
- Database Proficiency: Strong understanding of data modeling concepts and
hands-on experience with relational and NoSQL databases
- Cloud Exposure: Experience with major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
and deploying/managing data infrastructure in cloud environments
- Problem-Solver: Self-driven to deliver high-quality solutions in a
fast-paced, research-driven environment
- Collaboration: Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work
effectively with cross-functional teams
Preferred qualifications and experience:
- Experience with AWS cloud services
- Experience with multiple distinct data storage technologies
- DevOps experience beyond basic CI/CD
- Experience with data visualization tools and libraries (e.g., Matplotlib,
Plotly, or building custom visualization components)
- Understanding of optimizing data processing and database queries for
performance on single-machine, parallel execution environments
