Responsibilities

• You'll take ownership of features from development to deployment, working independently and collaborating with the team to deliver practical solutions.
• What you’ll actually do Design, develop, test, and maintain frontend features using Vue.js and TypeScript , with a focus on creating intuitive, responsive, and user-friendly interfaces.
• Take an active role in shaping the platform's user experience, bringing creativity and design thinking into how complex workflows and technical information are presented.
• Translate user needs and technical requirements into practical frontend solutions, considering usability, functionality, and maintainability.
• Take ownership of feature areas or related task groups, from understanding requirements and proposing solutions to implementation, testing, and deployment.
• Node.js and TypeScript, including building and integrating REST APIs and supporting services.
• Work with PostgreSQL, Redis, and asynchronous workflow systems, addressing challenges such as long-running jobs, task dependencies, retries, and failure handling.
• Debug and resolve issues across different layers of the platform, including frontend, backend, and workflow execution.
• Collaborate with researchers, software engineers, and other stakeholders to understand user needs and translate them into effective technical solutions.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to coding standards, development practices, and CI/CD processes.
• Identify technical risks, proactively suggest improvements, and make sound implementation decisions while knowing when to seek input.

Requirements

• What we’re looking for 3+ years of professional full-stack experience, focused on the frontend
• Computer Science degree (or related quantitative field) or equivalent industry experience
• Strong frontend skills ( Vue.js , JavaScript), with attention to UX and user flow; some experience working with UI/UX designers
• Node.js (TypeScript), REST APIs, relational databases, and job-queue-backed data stores — ideally PostgreSQL and Redis Understanding of async processing and workflow systems: long-running jobs, state management, task dependencies, retries, idempotency
• Familiarity with CI/CD, Docker, and logging/monitoring tools such as OpenTelemetry Ability to work independently — breaks down ambiguous requirements and owns deliverables with minimal supervision
• explains technical decisions, flags blockers, gives constructive review feedback
• Big enough to matter.
• Small enough to move fast.

Preferred

• Nice to have Experience with workflow orchestration frameworks, particularly
• Argo Workflows Background in computational, scientific, or other technically complex software platforms
• Familiarity with quantum computing — or interest in learning Why IQM?
• Flat hierarchy, direct access.
• They're friendlier than they look!

Benefits

• From quantum hardware to software layers and beyond, we build across the full-stack.
• Feel free to approach any leaders.
• Growing between a startup and a corporation.
