About the Role
As part of the Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing (FTQC) Software team, you will bridge the gap between high-level software abstractions and real-world hardware control systems. Your mission is to optimize the quantum software stack to unlock the capabilities of scaling fault-tolerant quantum hardware architectures.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and optimize quantum compilation and Quantum Error Correction (QEC) infrastructure for complex, utility-scale quantum workflows.
- Translate theoretical breakthroughs in QEC and fault-tolerant architecture into production-grade software features.
- Translate quantum circuits into optimized intermediate and low-level representations that interface with control system APIs.
- Integrate advanced execution pipelines by working closely with Core, Compilation, Performance, Architecture, Hardware, and Research teams.
- Maintain high standards for new contributions, documentation, and testing within the Quantum Software ecosystem.
Requirements
- MSc or PhD in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
- Demonstrated education, training, or professional experience in quantum computing, quantum information or a related field.
- Hands-on experience developing with, or extending, quantum computing or QEC libraries.
- Demonstrated ability to translate complex QEC schemes into concrete and optimized software implementations.
- Familiarity with classical or quantum compilation workflows and intermediate representations (IRs).
- Proven experience in production-grade Python and C++ software development with a focus on writing clean, modular and maintainable code.
- Demonstrated experience with modern software engineering best practices, including comprehensive unit, integration and system-level testing, continuous integration (CI/CD) pipelines, and rigorous code review workflows.
- Demonstrated ability to dissect complex mathematical or scientific descriptions and translate them into efficient, working software implementations.
- Proven ability to navigate, learn, and master advanced scientific and technical concepts quickly with minimal direction.
- Comfort working in a fast-moving dynamic environment and navigating the uncertainty of evolving quantum hardware paradigms.
