Senior Software Engineer

Espoo
IQM /
Full-time /
Is your dream to build something that doesn't exist yet, with entirely new technologies? Want to join a group of true pioneers and contribute to scientific breakthroughs? Quantum computing company IQM Finland is looking for a creative and proactive Senior Software Engineer to join their growing, multicultural team in Espoo!

IQM builds scalable cryogenic hardware for quantum computers, developing high-speed quantum processors using superconducting qubits to reduce error rates. IQM’s most recent technological breakthrough drives quantum measurement time down to 300 nanoseconds.

As a Senior Software Engineer at IQM, your main passion and focus is software development with an out-of-the-box approach. A healthy interest in physics is appreciated and certainly an advantage, but not required to succeed in the role. In short: IQM has a house full of scientists already - now they need a software expert to provide much-needed programming skills!

What does Senior mean at IQM? Years are not necessarily an indicator. You display the needed characteristics if it comes naturally to you to take responsibility outside of the scope of your own work, making sure that everyone is productive and that projects are meeting or exceeding their goals. You really understand the big picture and can be relied upon to deliver great results, or speak up and act if results can't be achieved and alternative solutions need to be found.
