Senior Software Engineer - Quantum Compiler

Job Description

Job Description

At Quantum Circuits Inc., we are building the world’s first truly algorithmic quantum computers to achieve transformational computing capabilities.  Our full-stack quantum computing platform uses superconducting devices along with a modular, robust, and scalable architecture.  Our unique approach is based on a decade of technology research and breakthroughs at Yale University's world-renowned quantum labs.

We are seeking a talented and experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our dynamic team and work on developing key pieces of QCI’s software platform and tools focusing primarily on our compiler and interface to various quantum programming environments. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in developing tools and transpilation layers converting general quantum circuits into gate and lower-level quantum control sequences. You will work closely with cross-functional teams including application engineers, quantum physicists, and embedded software engineers to design, develop, and deploy innovative solutions.

Responsibilities / Description :

• Collaborate with product managers, scientists, and other engineers to translate functional requirements into technical specifications and deliverables.
• Work directly with quantum application engineers and quantum physicists to understand how to convert general quantum circuits into an implementation on our industry-leading dual-rail qubit architecture.
• Architect and build efficient, reliable, and maintainable compiler software and tools.
• Write clean, well-documented code and conduct thorough code reviews to ensure code quality and maintainability.
• Troubleshoot and debug issues, identify bottlenecks, and implement solutions to optimize performance and improve the user experience.
• Provide software mentorship and guidance to quantum physicists on best practices and help drive software best practices.
• Remote or hybrid position based in New Haven, CT to be discussed with the candidate.
• Sponsorship available.
