You’ll work on implementing and optimizing quantum circuits for execution across target architectures, while building and maintaining the tools and frameworks that support circuit compilation, transpilation, and deployment. Partnering closely with research and hardware teams, you will profile and benchmark circuit performance, identify optimization opportunities, and contribute to the advancement of internal quantum software infrastructure that enables scalable and high-performance quantum computing workflows.\nWhat You’ll Work On:\nImplement and optimize quantum circuits for efficient execution on target hardware architectures\n\nDevelop and maintain software tools and frameworks for compiling/transpiling, and deploying quantum circuits\n\nProfile and benchmark circuit performance, identifying bottlenecks and driving improvements\n\nWork closely with research and hardware teams to translate algorithmic designs into hardware-ready implementations\n\nContribute to the development of internal quantum software infrastructure and tooling\n\nYou May Be a Good Fit If You Have:\nAn MS in physics, computer science, mathematics or a related field\n\nStrong software engineering skills, with experience in scientific computing environments (Python, C++, or similar)\n\nHands-on experience with quantum circuit design and quantum software frameworks (e.g. Qiskit, PennyLane, Cirq, or equivalent)\n\nUnderstanding of quantum gate sets, circuit compilation, and hardware constraints\n\nProven ability to deliver robust, maintainable code in a collaborative team environment\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills\n\nStrong Candidates May Also Have:\n\nKnowledge of quantum error correction codes and fault-tolerant circuit synthesis\n\nExperience with noise modeling, error mitigation techniques, or hardware-aware compilation\n\nFamiliarity with classical HPC or distributed computing as applied to quantum simulation\n\nTrack record of contributions to open-source quantum software projects\n\nHow We’re Different\nAt Sygaldry, curiosity and intellectual courage drive our work. We approach ambitious challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture and know that kind people build the strongest teams. We prioritize mission over ego and collaborate openly with a strong sense of shared purpose. We dream big, yet we execute with a love of detail. We’re looking for scientists, engineers, and operators to forge new paths with us at the intersection of quantum and AI.\nCulture & Benefits\nVisa Sponsorship - We know what it takes to make top talent thrive here. We’re open to supporting visas whenever possible.\n\nCompensation - We value your contribution and invest in your future with a competitive salary and meaningful equity.\n\nBenefits - Your well-being matters. We provide company-sponsored health coverage to give you and your family peace of mind.\n\nConnection - Whether it’s company offsite or casual crew socials, we make time to connect, recharge, and have fun together.\n\nTime Off - We trust you to take the time you need. Unlimited PTO so you can rest, recharge, and come back ready to make an impact.\n\nWe encourage applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or other applicable legally protected characteristic.\nWe encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.
