Join a small, technically deep team as a Working Student Software Engineer and help turn emerging quantum computing capabilities into practical solutions for complex business problems. The role offers flexibility, ownership, exposure to cutting-edge technology, and a blend of academic depth with hands-on software delivery.
Highlights
Flexible working setup with room for ownership and the opportunity to work on emerging quantum computing technology and challenging real-world problems, alongside a technically strong team.
Description
Join Aqarios to Redefine the Future of Computing!
At Aqarios, we want to change how the world solves hard problems.
We use quantum computing to tackle some of the most complex challenges companies face across industries.
Join us and you'll work on technology that's still being figured out, in a setup that's flexible and gives you room to own what you do.
Ideally you'd be with us in our Munich office, though remote within Germany works too.
Who we are:
Aqarios was founded to close the gap between quantum computing and problems companies actually need solved.
Our aim is to make quantum genuinely useful for the hard, complex challenges that come up across many industry domains.
We work with large enterprises to do that, sometimes through Luna, our platform, and sometimes through solutions we build for a specific customer.
We're a team of around 15 people, spun out of LMU Munich.
That means there's real academic depth behind what we do, paired with the day-to-day of shipping software that customers rely on.
What you'd work on:
Backend services in Python (FastAPI, Celery, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ) that orchestrate complex computation workflowsA customer-facing web apps in React and TypeScript with interactive visualizations and real-time stateCloud infrastructure on Azure, including container orchestration, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-codeShared libraries, database migrations, and cross-cutting concerns across many microservicesAutomated testing at multiple levels: unit, integration, end-to-endCode reviews, pull requests, and a structured engineering workflow from day one
What we're looking for:
Strong proficiency in Python or any other language where you've built and maintained something professionally beyond courseworkComfortable with Git: branches, pull requests, code reviews on a shared codebaseUnderstanding of how distributed web applications work: APIs, databases, async patterns, state management, or deployment pipelinesEnrolled as a student (Werkstudent) in CS, Physics, Maths, or something adjacent.
Late Bachelor's or Master'sDepth in at least one area that matters here:
Backend: async Python, API design, relational databases, message queues, service architectureFrontend: React component architecture, TypeScript, data visualization, responsive design, good design senseInfrastructure: Docker, CI/CD pipelines, cloud platforms (Azure), infrastructure-as-codeTesting and quality: test strategy across unit/integration/e2e, observability, reliability
A candidate who's built one solid thing end-to-end, where they made architectural decisions, hit scaling problems, or maintained it over time, interests us more than broad surface familiarityYou ask questions when you're unsure and take feedback wellBased in or near Munich, or elsewhere in Germany if remote
What you get:
Your work runs in production for industrial customers, not in a sandboxA close look at deeptech, right where software engineering meets quantum computingHours that flex around your studies and exam periodsAn office in central Munich and a team that likes actually being there together, with regular events
🚀 Don’t just work - make an impact.
Join Aqarios and help us shape the future of computing, one breakthrough at a time!
