Overview

Join to apply for the Quantum Compiler Engineer - 400 role at Quantinuum

This role is based in Broomfield, CO . Quantinuum values collaboration and proximity to teammates, with the possibility of remote work up to 2 days per week with approvals.

Our compiler team is at the forefront of turning platform-agnostic quantum algorithms into concrete, executable instructions for our trapped-ion quantum computers. You will work with an interdisciplinary team to create user-friendly languages and tools for quantum programs, and contribute to heuristics and algorithms that optimize ion routing across complex topologies to improve performance.

You will have the opportunity to contribute across the compiler stack, including front-end language tooling, mid-level optimization passes, and hardware-aware backends, with a focus on performance, correctness, and robustness. This role offers ownership of non-trivial compiler innovations and exploration of heuristics and approximation strategies to influence how quantum programs scale.

Base pay range

$105,000.00 / yr - $175,000.00 / yr

Key Responsibilities

  • Contribute to the development of compiler front-end (quantum languages), back-end (machine-specific targeting), and optimization passes for both classical and quantum operations.
  • Benchmark, profile, and optimize the execution of the compiler and the quality and performance of quantum programs it generates.
  • Collaborate on the design and implementation of a compiler targeting a real-time, distributed execution environment.
  • Work with a diverse team including physicists and other engineering disciplines to solve complex problems.
  • Write high-quality, maintainable code in an R&D and rapid prototyping environment.

You must have

  • Bachelor's degree minimum
  • Minimum 1+ years of industry or post-graduate experience in an engineering, lab, or R&D environment
  • Minimum 2+ years of programming experience with Python, Rust, C++, or similar language

  • Rust development experience with LLVM or optimization algorithm development
  • Experience with a variety of algorithms (tree, graph, SAT, ML, etc.)
  • Experience developing application-specific algorithms where exact / optimal solutions are intractable
  • Proficiency with software testing and deployment tools

    • What is in it for you?

  • Competitive salary and innovative, game-changing work
  • Flexible work schedule
  • Employer-subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) match and student loan repayment benefit
