## Description

Here at TreQ, we are accelerating the path to useful quantum computing by designing, deploying, and operating open-architecture quantum computing infrastructure that evolves as quantum technologies advance.

We are shaping the future of quantum computing and as we expand, we are searching for a additional **Software Engineer** (**C#/.NET worker services)** your primary responsibility will be building a quantum orchestrator that interfaces directly with external quantum hardware and software. You will also automate software deployments on clean Ubuntu environments and build CI workflows. You will work closely with TreQ’s systems engineers, software lead, and supply chain partners to pioneer open-architecture quantum infrastructure. 

As a **Software Engineer** (**C#/.NET worker services), your day will see you :**

-   Build, document, and maintain quantum orchestration and integration solutions (primarily C# worker services) that interface directly with external quantum hardware.
-   Automate and document software deployments on clean Ubuntu environments using Docker and systemd.
-   Establish, document, maintain, and streamline CI workflows to ensure high software quality.
-   Actively participate in peer code reviews.
-   Self-manage sprint tasks within a fast-moving, collaborative team.

-   Letting AI handle repetitive/routine tasks so you can focus on core logic
-   Writing TCP/IP stacks, compiler passes, or authentication solutions, or maintaining cloud infrastructure.

There is extra kudos if you have a degree in computer science, software engineering, physics, or can share equivalent practical experience. You don't need to be an expert in software architecture or have a background in quantum to apply. We value practical engineering experience as much as formal academic credentials. People join TreQ from industry, national laboratories, startups, academia, and military service.

TreQ is a veteran-owned, woman-owned small business and an equal opportunity employer. We hire based on capability, character, and the ability to contribute to our mission.
