Job Description
The newly hired Quantum Software Engineer Applications will join the Applications team in Infleqtions Quantum Software division and contribute to the development of quantum algorithmic solutions for real-world problems. This role will involve the identification and selection of candidate problems for demonstration on early fault-tolerant QPUs implementation and demonstration of quantum solutions and assessment of resource needs for deployment at scale. As a member of the Quantum Software division this role will involve close collaboration with teams working on the development of Superstaq Infleqtions quantum software platform and Sqale Infleqtions neutral atom quantum computer.
Job Responsibilities
The duties and responsibilities outlined below include essential functions of the role. Depending on business needs this role may perform a combination of some or all of the following duties. Duties responsibilities and activities may change or new ones may be assigned:
- Contribute to the development of quantum algorithmic solutions for real-world problems by developing and implementing custom quantum software including testing and evaluation through simulation and hardware execution.
- Customer-centric focus on solving end-user needs and proposing new work to customers
- Stay up-to-date on literature assess and pursue cutting edge quantum algorithms for novel applications
- Communicate and interpret cutting-edge research in both theory and experiment with colleagues
- Engage with the broader scientific community by publishing research findings in scientific journals and presenting at conferences
- Stay up to date with the latest developments in quantum algorithms and quantum application development
- Provide guidance and support to other team members working closely with them to foster a collaborative research environment
