Quantum Runtime Framework Intern 2027

**Introduction** IBM Quantum is seeking motivated computer science students to learn about and develop the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer. You will help extend and improve our local developer experience around automated bringup and integration testing of the software components that orchestrate low-level Quantum job execution. **Your Role And Responsibilities** * Improve local developer experience for automated bringup and integration testing of runtime software components. * Design and implement Bazel-based build and test workflows for runtime framework components. * Develop and maintain local Kubernetes (K3s, Minikube, etc.) environments that reproduce production-like test scenarios. * Containerize and automate integration test pipelines using Docker. * Collaborate with runtime, compiler, and systems software teams to identify and close developer-experience gaps. **Preferred Education** Bachelor's Degree **Required Technical And Professional Expertise** * Pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field. * Experience with Rust and Docker. * Experience with local Kubernetes environments such as K3s or Minikube. * Experience with Git, Linux, and command-line environments. * Strong debugging, problem-solving, and communication skills. **Preferred Technical And Professional Experience** * Experience with Bazel or other hermetic/reproducible build systems. * Experience with CI/CD pipelines and integration testing frameworks. * Experience with observability systems such as Prometheus, MQTT, and Grafana. * Experience with Quantum computing concepts.
