Join a leading-edge quantum computing company. They are seeking a creative and collaborative software engineer to tackle unique challenges in building simulation tools and compilers that bridge cutting-edge hardware and high-level programming. You’ll work closely with experimental and computational physicists, contributing to both scientific discovery and engineering innovation.
Key Responsibilities:
* Develop and maintain advanced compiler infrastructure, including Static Single Assignment intermediate representations.
* Design domain-specific languages and extend internal SDKs.
* Integrate simulation tools with the compiler pipeline and cloud services.
* Collaborate with scientists and external partners to meet real-world use cases.
Qualifications:
* Ph.D. in Computer Science (focus on quantum computation, architecture, compilers) or equivalent experience.
* Strong software development skills, particularly in Python and at least one compiled language (C++, Rust, Julia, Haskell, OCaml, etc.).
* Experience with compiler development, type systems, and SSA-based intermediate representations.
* Understanding of quantum computing fundamentals and enthusiasm for building tools for scientists.
* Knowledge of full software lifecycle practices: version control, code review, testing, CI/CD, profiling, and documentation.
Preferred:
* Experience with LLVM, MLIR, or other compiler infrastructures.
* Quantum programming language design or optimization (circuit simplification, scheduling, routing).
* Quantum error correction.
* Familiarity with quantum simulation libraries (Cirq, Qiskit, CUDA Quantum).
