- Regularly provide technical evaluation and feedback to your reports (e.g. via code review, design docs, etc.).A day in the life
The majority of your time will be spent orchestrating, coaching, and growing the Control Stack team at the AWS Center for Quantum Computing. This requires collaborating with other science and software teams and working backwards from the needs of our science staff in the context of our larger experimental roadmap. You will translate science needs and priorities into software project proposals and resource allocations. Once project proposals have been accepted, you will support and empower your team to deliver these projects on time while maintaining high standards of engineering excellence. Because many high-level experimental goals have cross-cutting requirements, you’ll need to stay in sync with partner science and software teams.
