ShareThe newly hired Quantum Software Engineer – Applications will join the Applications team in Infleqtion’s Quantum Software division and contribute to the development of quantum algorithmic solutions for real-world problems. This role will involve the identification and selection of candidate problems for demonstration on early fault-tolerant QPUs, implementation and demonstration of quantum solutions, and assessment of resource needs for deployment at scale. As a member of the Quantum Software division, this role will involve close collaboration with teams working on the development of Superstaq, Infleqtion’s quantum software platform, and Sqale, Infleqtion’s neutral atom quantum computer. Job Responsibilities The duties and responsibilities outlined below include essential functions of the role. Depending on business needs, this role may perform a combination of some or all of the following duties. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned: Contribute to the development of quantum algorithmic solutions for real-world problems by developing and implementing custom quantum software, including testing and evaluation through simulation and hardware execution. Customer-centric focus on solving end-user needs and proposing new work to customers Stay up-to-date on literature, assess and pursue cutting edge quantum algorithms for novel applications Communicate and interpret cutting-edge research in both theory and experiment with colleagues Engage with the broader scientific community by publishing research findings in scientific journals and presenting at conferences Stay up to date with the latest developments in quantum algorithms and quantum application development Provide guidance and support to other team members, working closely with them to foster a collaborative research environment Requirements BS or MS in computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, or another closely related field. If you have substantially more experience than this and are excited to apply, please do! We will also consider hiring at the Senior Quantum Software Engineer level. Experience in designing and evaluating quantum algorithms Experience developing and demonstrating quantum software Experience performing quantum resource estimation for target applications and their identified quantum solutions Familiarity with common quantum software languages, tools, and packages (e.g. Qiskit, Cirq, Superstaq, OpenFermion, Stim, CUDA-Q) Demonstrated ability to understand end user needs and connect real-world challenges with quantum solutions Demonstrated ability to work and communicate with all levels of an organization; Professional-level communication skills, including verbal, written, and presentation skills Demonstrated ability to work comfortably in a highly collaborative, cross-functional, team-oriented, and matrixed environment Desire and demonstrated ability to thrive and produce results in a fluid, dynamic, and fast-paced environment Demonstrated ability to learn new and complex topics quickly Resourceful problem-solver who collaboratively identifies effective paths forward with demonstrated expertise in executing productization efforts Passion for solving complex problems and challenges in a highly technical and scientific environment Ability to travel domestically and (potentially) internationally up to 10% Preferred Qualifications: Ph.D. in computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, or another closely related field Strong scientific publication record Domain experience in condensed matter, quantum chemistry, materials science, or similar Experience evaluating and implementing quantum error correction protocols Benefits Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision) Retirement Plan (401k, IRA) Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D) Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays) Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity) Short Term & Long-Term Disability Training & Development Stock Option Plan Anticipated salary range for this role is $115,000 - $145,000, or $135,000 - $175,000 for a senior level candidate.
