Scientific Software Engineer

Description:

Join a leading-edge quantum computing company. They are seeking a creative and collaborative software engineer to tackle unique challenges in building simulation tools and compilers that bridge cutting-edge hardware and high-level programming. You’ll work closely with experimental and computational physicists, contributing to both scientific discovery and engineering innovation.

Key Responsibilities
 

• Develop and maintain advanced compiler infrastructure, including Static Single Assignment intermediate representations.
• Design domain-specific languages and extend internal SDKs.
• Integrate simulation tools with the compiler pipeline and cloud services.
• Collaborate with scientists and external partners to meet real-world use cases.
   

Qualifications
 

• Ph.D. in Computer Science (focus on quantum computation, architecture, compilers) or equivalent experience.
• Strong software development skills, particularly in Python and at least one compiled language (C++, Rust, Julia, Haskell, OCaml, etc.).
• Experience with compiler development, type systems, and SSA-based intermediate representations.
• Understanding of quantum computing fundamentals and enthusiasm for building tools for scientists.
• Knowledge of full software lifecycle practices: version control, code review, testing, CI/CD, profiling, and documentation.
