Summary
QuEra builds neutral atom quantum computers and the software that helps researchers use them. Our Software Development Kit (SDK) brings together tools, libraries, and documentation for designing, simulating, and running experiments on our hardware. We are seeking a Technical Product Manager to shape the SDK experience for our Gemini systems: digital neutral atom quantum computers focused on early quantum error correction (QEC) experiments.
About the Role
Your goal will be to help define and deliver a product vision that serves the needs of researchers and developers targeting Gemini systems. You will draw on your expertise in quantum computing and product development to work closely with other product managers, scientists, and software engineers, translating hardware capabilities, user research, and product data into clear product requirements. You will also collaborate with other teams to provide the documentation and educational resources researchers need to use Gemini effectively.
Responsibilities
- Shape product planning: Work alongside software engineers and other product managers across QuEra to help shape the Gemini SDK vision, roadmap, and priorities.

- Improve developer experience: Evaluate and improve the usability of internal and open-source SDK tools, with particular attention to developer workflows that rely on AI assistants.
- Support educational resources: Identify gaps in documentation, tutorials, and examples, and work with different teams to address them and improve the user experience.
- Coordinate updates and releases: Plan and coordinate SDK updates, track dependencies, coordinate testing and release materials, and gather user feedback.
- Coordinate open-source contributions: Help triage issues and contribution proposals, connect contributors with technical maintainers, and track progress to keep contributions aligned with SDK priorities.
Qualifications
- Professional or research experience as an engineer or scientist contributing to the development of scientific software.
- Hands-on experience with quantum computing software, such as quantum SDKs, circuit simulators, or quantum error correction tools, through research, coursework, open-source contributions, or professional work.
- Foundational knowledge of quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC).
- Ability to collect and analyze product usage data and user feedback, using the findings to recommend improvements and define clear requirements and priorities.
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, physics, engineering, chemistry, or a related technical field.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience using or contributing to QuEra’s Bloqade ecosystem.
- Experience maintaining an open-source project with frequent releases and an active, returning user base.
- Experience creating technical documentation, tutorials, or workshops for scientific software.
- Graduate-level study in a relevant technical field, or technology management.
