Quantum Compilation Scientist

About the role

We're looking for a Quantum Compilation Scientist to join our growing compilation team. You'll design and optimize the software toolchain that translates quantum programs into physical gate operations on our processors. This is a cross-disciplinary role spanning quantum physics and computer science. Your first major focus: integrating our latest architectural advances into the resource estimator, so our systems scale efficiently without sacrificing performance.

Responsibilities

• Develop Alice & Bob’s compilation tool suit, both with theoretical studies and implementation, to ensure the best use our fault-tolerant quantum computer architecture.
• Improve the resource estimator to integrate our newest architectural improvement, and make it usable by external users.
• Fill patents, publish your results in scientific publications and present them in conferences.
• Mentor junior members of the team, interns, and PhD students.

Requirements

• Demonstrated expertise across quantum compilation, quantum error correction, fault-tolerant quantum algorithms, classical language and compilation theory.
• PhD or equivalent in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Quantum Information Science, or a related field.
• Proficiency in Python and at least a compiled language (e.g. C++, Rust, etc.); experience with other relevant languages is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen eye for detail.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment.
• Professional-level English proficiency, both written and spoken.

Nice to Have

• Deep expertise in graph theory or branch & bound/constraint propagation algorithms.
• Solid understanding of classical compiler backends (e.g., LLVM, GCC) or high-performance or specialized computing compilers.
• Comprehensive knowledge of computer architecture and operating systems.
