## About the role

Quantum architects research and develop architectures for fault tolerant photonic quantum computers, in particular methods for entanglement generation, encoded logic, and error correction. Quantum architects in the simulation team focus on developing and running large-scale simulations to evaluate the performance of such methods and their integration into a full-stack architecture.

## What they're looking for

- Degree in Physics, Math, Computer Science, or Electrical Engineering is required. A postgraduate degree related to quantum information or technology is preferred
- 3+ years of collaborative software engineering experience, preferably in an R&D environment
- Extensive experience with Python is required. Experience with a lower-level language such as C++ is preferred
- Experience with collaborative software development tools and best practices is required e.g. Gitlab, CICD
- Proven team player with an ability to collaborate effectively across departments, sites, and time zones
- Ability to work independently, prioritize and steer projects to completion, and contribute to a fast-moving start-up environment
