By integrating quantum and AI, we're accelerating the path to super intelligence, and engineering the conditions for it to scale efficiently and operate affordably. Sygaldry AI servers combine multiple qubit types within a single, fault-tolerant architecture to deliver the combination of cost, scale, and speed necessary for advanced AI applications. We pioneer new domains in physics, engineering, and AI, tackling the hardest challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture. We're looking for individuals ready to define the intersection of quantum and AI and drive its profound global impact.\nWhat You'll Work On:\nDesign and evaluate quantum error correction schemes for novel hardware architectures with multiple qubit modalities\n\nDevelop efficient protocols for fault-tolerance under hardware-specific constraints and noise models\n\nBuild simulation and modeling tools for system design and analysis\n\nLead high-impact research projects with a multidisciplinary team of experimental and theoretical physicists, engineers, and computer scientists\n\nYou May Be a Good Fit If You Have:\nA PhD in physics, applied physics, computer science, electrical engineering, or an equivalent degree in a similar field\n\n5-10 years of experience in quantum error correction\n\nPublications in quantum error correction or related fields\n\nPossess a strong programming skills in a scientific computing environment\n\nProven track record of successful cross-team collaborative projects\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills\n\nStrong Candidates May Have:\nExperience translating cutting-edge R&D into commercial products or roadmap milestones\n\nExperience deploying quantum error correction schemes on real quantum devices\n\nExperience translating abstract models of error correction into hardware-aware protocols\n\nExperience with decoding\n\nWhy This Matters:\nYour work accelerates the path to quantum super intelligence. Each quantum component integrated, each AI model enhanced, each instruction set optimized brings us closer to a future where intelligence and quantum mechanics are inextricably intertwined. We're not building incremental improvements-we're creating exponential transformations that will make AI more affordable, sustainable, personalized, and fundamentally more capable.\nHow We’re Different:\nWe’re building the infrastructure for quantum super intelligence and pioneering new domains at the intersection of physics, engineering, and AI. At 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.\nCulture & Benefits:\nThe Best of Both Worlds: Access to industrial-scale compute and hardware resources while retaining the intellectual freedom of an academic environment.\n\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 high-level expertise. This position offers a salary significantly above standard academic postdoctoral rates.\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 characteristics.\nWe encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. If you don’t think this role is right for you, but you believe that you would have something meaningful to contribute to our mission, please reach out at .","description_format":"text","description_chars":4343,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Servers & Data Center Hardware","Quantum Computing Hardware","AI Compute & Inference"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-18T21:14:35Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"DK","licensed_sponsor":false,"adverts_offering_sponsorship_24m":2,"sanctioned_now":false,"evidence":"Offered visa sponsorship in 2 of its adverts here in 24 months","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-11-09T07:32:21+00:00","sources":["Alion: sponsorship offered in the employer's own job adverts (24 months)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":39,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.701,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sygaldry-quantum-error-correction-theorist-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sygaldry-quantum-error-correction-theorist-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T04:58:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11591,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":687371},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=687371"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsygaldry-quantum-error-correction-theorist-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsygaldry-quantum-error-correction-theorist-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsygaldry-quantum-error-correction-theorist-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sygaldry-quantum-error-correction-theorist-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsygaldry-quantum-error-correction-theorist-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1044428}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"sygaldry.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1044428},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
