Job Description
Join Nexus Quantum Labs at the forefront of technological revolution as we pioneer quantum computing solutions for 2026 and beyond. We're seeking visionary Senior Quantum Computing Engineers to architect next-gen algorithms that will redefine industries. In this role, you'll collaborate with Nobel laureates and industry disruptors to solve previously insurmountable computational challenges. Our Austin headquarters features state-of-the-art quantum labs and unlimited research funding. We offer competitive equity packages, flexible hybrid work, and sabbatical programs for deep-dive research periods.
Shape the future of computing by developing quantum-resistant cryptography, optimizing quantum machine learning models, and building error-corrected qubit systems. Your work will directly impact breakthroughs in drug discovery, climate modeling, and financial forecasting. We value intellectual curiosity as much as technical expertise – if you're passionate about pushing quantum boundaries, we want you on our team.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement quantum algorithms for optimization and simulation problems
- Develop error-correction protocols for fault-tolerant quantum systems
- Create hybrid quantum-classical machine learning frameworks
- Lead quantum hardware-software integration projects
- Collaborate with security teams on quantum-resistant cryptography
- Mentor junior engineers and publish research in Nature/Science journals
- Participate in quantum standards development with IEEE
Qualifications
- PhD in Quantum Physics, Computer Science, or related field (MS with 5+ years experience)
- Expertise in Qiskit, Cirq, or quantum circuit design frameworks
- Published research in quantum computing or quantum information theory
- Proficiency in Python, C++, and low-level quantum hardware interfaces
- Experience with quantum annealing or superconducting qubit systems
- Demonstrated ability to translate theoretical concepts into practical implementations
- Strong background in linear algebra, probability, and quantum mechanics
