Quantinuum are hiring a research software engineer to work on compilation of fault-tolerant quantum software for the next generation of quantum computers.

Quantum software relies on quantum error correction to work. However, quantum software engineers don't want to think about error correction: they want the compiler do it for them. So we're upgrading our TKET compiler do this, and we're looking for help.

As part of our Cambridge-based compiler team, you will contribute to our quantum compilation toolchain, with a focus on how implementing fault-tolerant protocols in the compiler. You'll stay informed about the latest research on quantum error correction codes, fault-tolerant circuit design, and quantum compilation methods, as well as conducting original research of your own. You'll work with scientists and engineers from all across Quantinuum to integrate all of our expertise into high-quality software for our team, and our customers.

If you are excited by possibilities of quantum computing, and you want to turn those possibilities into realities, then this might be the job for you!

Need to have:

  • Have experience programming, ideally in Python, Rust, or C++, and be willing to learn new programming languages.
  • Be comfortable with graduate-level mathematics.
  • Be an independent worker capable of understanding technical and advanced research material and transferring new ideas into code.
  • Be able to present and discuss new research ideas in a collaborative environment.
  • Hold a master's degree or PhD in Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science.

Nice to have:

  • Knowledge of quantum computing, especially quantum error correction.
  • Experience of modern compilers and intermediate representations, such LLVM or MLIR.
  • Experience of software development in a team environment, using version control, issue trackers, and similar tool
What is in it for you?
Working alongside a highly talented team, with leading names in the quantum computing industry. We offer a highly competitive package, equity, 28 days of paid holiday (in addition to public holidays), a workplace pension, a positive approach to flexible working and enhanced parental and adoption benefits.
