Working closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, researchers, and product managers, you will build usable, efficient, and innovative systems that combine quantum and high-performance computing. The preferred candidate has a strong technical background in both quantum computing and HPC, advanced programming skills, and the ability to communicate complex ideas to diverse audiences.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and demonstrate software that supports quantum computing applications and HPC-QC system management through job management, scheduling, compilation, and workflow frameworks
• Create software adapters that connect quantum computing software tools (compilers, SDKs) with other tools using open standards where possible, and evaluate open-source and commercial software for inclusion in integrated HPC-QC environments
• Develop functional and unit tests, support code quality with automated testing and continuous integration, and assist with code reviews
• Implement and improve software prototypes to support research efforts, extending open source software as needed
• Create mock-up and test bed systems to demonstrate HPC-QC software capabilities
• Prepare internal and external demonstrations, create technical documentation, and write portions of research papers relating to software development efforts
• Contribute to the development of open specifications and standards to support interoperability in quantum computing

Requirements:

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or related field, or equivalent work experience
• 6 or more years of programming experience
• Advanced programming skills in low-level languages such as C, C++, or Rust, and advanced programming skills in Python
• Experience contributing to large software projects and creating new software efforts, including library API design
• Experience creating or extending quantum computing tools (e.g., Qiskit, CUDA-Q, TensorFlow Quantum, Pennylane)
• Strong understanding of quantum computing, including skills in understanding and optimizing circuits
• Deep understanding of HPC architecture, GPU/CPU function and applicability, cluster design, job scheduling, workload optimization, and performance tuning and testing
• Strong mathematical background with excellent skills in areas such as statistics, probability, and linear algebra

Knowledge and Skills:

• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills with an outcome-focused mindset and bias for action and delivery
• Focus on quality and customer results, with creative and analytical thinking abilities and a passion for solving complex problems
• Strong consensus-building skills, capable of conveying complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences in written and presentation formats
• Experience with Linux command line tools and familiarity with Agile development methodologies
• Knowledge of quantum computing applications such as quantum chemistry, quantum simulation, quantum error correction (QEC), or combinatorial optimization
• Experience with cloud computing platforms, GPU computing, AI/ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch), or compiler development (especially MLIR)
• Experience developing microservices client/server software
• Track record of sharing findings with the broader scientific community through research papers, blogs, or other public materials
