Description
Amazon Braket is evolving to support fault-tolerant quantum computing, and we are looking for a Software Development Engineer who can build high-performance systems infrastructure for quantum workloads. You will think about latency budgets, resource lifecycle, and how to make quantum hardware accessible through clean software abstractions to deliver solutions that serve researchers, enterprises, and developers running quantum experiments at scale.
If you have a background in distributed infrastructure or systems engineering and want to apply that expertise to a fundamentally new kind of computing, this role is for you.
Key job responsibilities
- Design and implement interfaces that connect Braket"s cloud infrastructure to quantum hardware with minimal overhead
- Build session management, memory management, and execution control systems for quantum device interactions using AWS services
- Collaborate with scientists and product teams to translate customer requirements into reliable, maintainable infrastructure
- Optimize the critical path between customer workloads and quantum processors for low latency and high throughput
- Contribute to the architectural evolution of Braket"s execution stack, evaluating and integrating generative AI tools to accelerate development workflows
About the team
The Amazon Braket team builds and operates Amazon"s quantum computing service, enabling customers to explore quantum algorithms, test hybrid workloads, and experiment with hardware from multiple providers. We are a collaborative group of engineers and scientists working at the intersection of cloud infrastructure and quantum technology. As the field moves toward fault-tolerant quantum computing, you will have the opportunity to help shape the next generation of quantum cloud services.

Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.
It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
