By integrating quantum and AI, we're accelerating the path to superintelligence, and addressing the problem of rising compute costs and energy bottlenecks. 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.\nAbout You:\nSygaldry Technologies is seeking an experienced scientist to serve as a Senior Quantum Error Correction Theorist. In this role, you will be responsible for developing quantum error correction schemes to integrate multiple complementary qubit modalities into a fault-tolerant architecture. This is a rare opportunity to join an early team and help lay the foundation for a new quantum computing paradigm.\nAbout the Role\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\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.
