Advanced Quantum Compiler Engineer - 925

The role

You will design, build and optimize compiler software that turns quantum applications into instructions that run on Quantinuum's trapped-ion quantum computers. You will work with physicists and other engineers on compile-time and run-time software for next-generation quantum platforms.

What you will do

• Contribute to compiler front-end (quantum languages), back-end (machine-specific targeting) and optimization passes
• Benchmark, profile and optimize the compiler and the quality and performance of the quantum programs it generates
• Collaborate on the design and implementation of a compiler targeting a real-time, distributed execution environment
• Work with physicists and other engineering disciplines to solve complex problems
• Write high quality, maintainable code in an R&D and rapid prototyping environment

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree minimum
• Minimum 3+ years of industry or post-graduate experience in an engineering, lab, or R&D environment
• Minimum 3+ years of programming experience with Rust, C++, or similar language
• All applicants for placement in safety-sensitive positions will be required to submit to a pre-employment drug test

Nice to have

• Masters/PhD degree in Computer Science, EE, Physics or other relevant field
• Coursework in compiler fundamentals and a strong understanding of compiler design
• Ability to understand, combine and apply algorithms to solve complex problems
• Experience developing and extending compiler infrastructures (LLVM, MLIR, GCC, Cranelift, custom research compilers, or equivalent)
• Ability to solve complex problems and communicate how you did it
• Track record using Python or other rapid prototyping and development tools
• Rust development experience with a track record of contribution to open-source and commercial projects
• Experience with tree, graph, SAT and at times machine learning algorithms
• Experience with application-specific algorithms where exact or optimal solutions are computationally intractable
• Experience with testing and correctness verification of compiler transformations and optimizations

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and the opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology
• Flexible work arrangements that support work-life balance
• Employer-subsidized medical, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k) retirement savings plan with company match and student loan repayment benefit
• Equity opportunities
• Generous paid time off, sick leave and 12 paid holidays annually
• Paid parental leave
• Employee discount programs

Before you apply

• Some positions involve export-controlled technology; for non-U.S. persons, hiring depends on whether required U.S. government authorization can be obtained
• Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis with no deadline
