Quantum Software Engineer (Remote – USA)
An innovative technology company working at the intersection of quantum computing and artificial intelligence is seeking a Quantum Software Engineer to join its growing team. This is a fully remote opportunity for candidates based in the United States who are excited by the prospect of building next-generation software that accelerates the development of real-world quantum applications.
This role focuses on creating AI-powered tools that dramatically improve how quantum solutions are designed, analysed, and resource-estimated. Working alongside quantum scientists and customer-facing teams, you will help transform complex expert workflows into scalable, intelligent software systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop AI-powered tools that accelerate quantum application development and validation.
- Build automated resource estimation platforms capable of predicting qubit requirements, runtime, and computational complexity.
- Develop agentic workflows that integrate large language models, machine learning techniques, quantum SDKs, simulators, and analysis tools.
- Collaborate with quantum scientists to capture domain expertise and translate it into reusable software capabilities.
- Work closely with customer-facing teams to understand practical requirements and deliver scalable technical solutions.
- Benchmark, evaluate, and continuously improve AI-driven tooling against expert-generated results.
- Contribute to software architecture, testing, code reviews, and engineering best practices.
Required Qualifications
- BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related discipline.
- Strong Python software engineering experience, including testing, CI/CD, and modern development practices.
- Hands-on experience building applications that leverage LLMs, AI agents, or machine learning technologies.
- Familiarity with quantum computing concepts and an interest in quantum algorithms and resource estimation.
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.
Preferred Experience
- Experience with AI-assisted development tools and agent frameworks.
- Exposure to quantum software frameworks, compilers, or simulation platforms.
- Background developing scientific, technical, or research-focused software products.
