Tinkuq, the matchmaker, tells users honestly whether quantum computing is worth it for their problem. Paqari, our agentic platform, then helps to engineer the approach. It helps to writes and runs the code, and builds the complete quantum-classical solution as a service in the Hub runtime.\nWe are looking for an experienced software engineer who builds cloud-native systems end to end and brings deep expertise in agentic AI. You will work across the Kipu Quantum Hub, from backend services and APIs to frontend and infrastructure, with a clear focus on the agents at the core of our product and on how we use agents to build software ourselves.\nYou care about maintainable, tested and observable software, short feedback loops and real user value. You know that agents only deliver reliably when the engineering around them is right: clean architecture, good tests, clear specs and fast delivery.\nYour responsibilities\nBuild the platform end to end: Design, build and run backend services, APIs and frontends of the Kipu Quantum Hub in a cloud-native architecture on Kubernetes in the public cloud.\nShape the architecture: Make architecture decisions for distributed systems, including microservices, asynchronous messaging and API design, and keep the system easy to change.\nRaise the engineering bar: Help us ship small changes to production frequently and safely, with good automated tests and CI/CD.\nAgentic AI focus - product: Develop the agents in our product and make them reliable with evals, monitoring and cost control.\n Agentic AI focus - integration: Build the interfaces (e.g. MCP) that let LLMs work safely with our APIs, quantum services and hardware backends.\nAgentic engineering focus - how we build: Help us make AI coding agents a productive, reliable part of how the team builds software.\nCollaborate across disciplines: Work closely with quantum physicists and data scientists and help the whole team grow through pairing and feedback.\nYour profile\n Software engineering\nAt least 5 years of professional software engineering experience, ideally building cloud-based products.\nA degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\nStrong skills in at least one of our main languages (Java, TypeScript, Python) and willingness to work across the stack.\nExperience with containers and a major cloud provider; Kubernetes is a plus.\nA good understanding of software architecture and API design.\nA strong focus on code quality, automated testingand continuous delivery.\nExcellent English and German skills.\nAgentic expertise\nExperience building LLM-based applications, for example with RAG, tool useor an agent framework.\nYou use AI coding agents in your daily work and have a feel for where they help and where they need guardrails.\n Nice to have\nExperience with the Model Context Protocol (MCP).\nExperience evaluating LLM or agent quality.\nSome exposure to quantum computing or other deep-tech and research environments. Quantum knowledge is not a must, curiosity about it is.\nWhy join us?\nA senior engineering role at the intersection of generative AI and quantum computing, with plenty of room to shape our architecture, our engineering practices and our agents.\nCollaboration with quantum physicists, algorithm teams and hardware partners worldwide, in a team that values short feedback loops, ownership and real user value.\nA role with real ownership.\nFlexible working hours and the option to work remotely.\nAn international team based in Berlin and remotely.\nContributions toward public transport or shopping vouchers.\n30 vacation days.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3829,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Science & Engineering","Quantum Science & Computing","Logistics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-07T07:29:49Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/kipu-quantum-senior-software-engineer-agentic-ai-agentic-engineering","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/kipu-quantum-senior-software-engineer-agentic-ai-agentic-engineering.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T11:03:14Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23747,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":51896},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=51896"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fkipu-quantum-senior-software-engineer-agentic-ai-agentic-engineering"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fkipu-quantum-senior-software-engineer-agentic-ai-agentic-engineering"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fkipu-quantum-senior-software-engineer-agentic-ai-agentic-engineering"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/kipu-quantum-senior-software-engineer-agentic-ai-agentic-engineering\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fkipu-quantum-senior-software-engineer-agentic-ai-agentic-engineering"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3911325}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"kipu-quantum.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3911325},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
