Senior Quantum Engineer

Responsibilities

• Quantum algorithms: design, implement, and benchmark quantum algorithms (Shor's, Grover's, variational quantum algorithms) for business use cases.
• Quantum optimization: formulate optimization problems as QUBOs and solve them with D-Wave's quantum annealing (Leap/Ocean).
• Gate-based development: build and run quantum circuits using IBM Qiskit on platforms such as IBM Q, Rigetti, or Google Quantum.
• Prototyping & PoCs: rapidly turn hypotheses into prototypes, demos, and learnings that teams and clients use to decide where to invest in emerging tech.
• AI assets & R&D: develop AI assets (e.g., plugins) and contribute to R&D initiatives, including quantum NLP and quantum cryptography use cases.
• Performance: write efficient classical code (Python, C++, Julia) with a focus on optimization and computational efficiency.
• Work Conditions
• Type: Full-time, Long-term contract
• Start Date: ASAP
• US Time Zone Overlap: Required (2 PM - 6 PM CET, ideally until 7 PM CET)
