**Overview**

Microsoft is the world’s center of expertise on topological quantum computing. We are building a scaled, fault‑tolerant quantum computer grounded in topological qubits and integrated end‑to‑end with the Azure Quantum software stack.

As a **Senior Software Development Engineer** in our Quantum Systems organization, you will develop core embedded software that powers Microsoft’s custom quantum readout instruments. This role focuses on building reliable, high‑performance userspace C++ systems that interface directly with Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and System on a chip (SoC)‑based hardware used to operate and measure topological qubits.

Our work sits at the intersection of hardware, software, and physics. You will collaborate closely with quantum experimentalists, FPGA engineers, and software partners to turn cutting‑edge research systems into robust, repeatable, and observable instrument platforms.
