Job Description
Are you ready to define the landscape of computing in 2026 and beyond? Nexus Horizon Labs is seeking a visionary Senior AI/Quantum Algorithm Engineer to lead our next-generation research division.
As a pioneer in the field of quantum-enhanced artificial intelligence, you will bridge the gap between classical machine learning and quantum mechanics. We are building the infrastructure that will power autonomous systems, next-gen cryptography, and complex problem-solving engines of the future.
Why Join Us?
- Work on cutting-edge technology that will shape the industry for years to come.
- Competitive compensation and equity package.
- Flexible remote-first culture with HQ in the heart of SF.
We are looking for a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and possesses a deep understanding of computational complexity.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and optimize quantum algorithms for machine learning tasks, targeting NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) devices.
- Collaborate with hardware engineers to develop error mitigation strategies for quantum processors.
- Lead the research and development of hybrid classical-quantum models to solve real-world business problems.
- Mentor junior researchers and PhD students in advanced computational physics and AI techniques.
- Publish high-impact research papers in top-tier conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, QIP).
Qualifications
- PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field.
- 3+ years of experience in algorithm development, with a focus on AI or Quantum Computing.
- Proficiency in Python, C++, and frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Qiskit, or Cirq.
- Strong understanding of linear algebra, probability theory, and statistical mechanics.
- Experience with cloud computing platforms (AWS, Azure) and HPC environments.
