This role seeks a Quantum Software Architect to lead the development of the company's quantum software infrastructure for their scalable computing platforms. The architect will define and implement the complete software stack, covering everything from the programming language interface to the hardware-specific compiler. A major focus is driving hardware/software co-design, leading performance benchmarking, and ensuring high standards for code quality and scalability.
Key Responsibilities
Define and implement the architecture of the quantum software stack, including front-end and hardware-specific back-end compilers.
Lead performance benchmarking and scaling studies for quantum algorithms across various hardware targets.
Drive hardware and software co-design efforts by collaborating with research and engineering teams.
Establish high standards for developing maintainable, scalable, and testable code within the software group.
Monitor and integrate algorithmic and architectural advances into the technology roadmap.
Contribute to full-stack design decisions concerning system scalability and configuration strategies.
Required Skills
Master's or PhD degree in Computer Science, Physics, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Minimum 3 years of industry or R&D experience in quantum software, compilers, or architectures.
Strong knowledge of quantum algorithms, circuit models, and compiler optimization.
Familiarity with error correction techniques and trade-offs in system architecture.
Hands-on experience with quantum frameworks such as Qiskit or Cirq.
Proficiency in Python and at least one lower-level language (e.g., Rust, C++).
Nice-to-have Skills
Prior involvement in designing or implementing quantum compilers in a research or product environment.
Proven success in hardware/software co-design initiatives.
Experience influencing technical roadmaps and implementation through strategic decision-making.
