YOUR ROLE

In this role, you will support our Quantum Development Team in shaping the future of quantum computing! You will work on engineering advanced quantum algorithms, integrating quantum solutions into API-driven software services on our platform, and exploring innovative encodings and industry use cases for commercially available quantum computers. You will collaborate closely with other quantum algorithm expert and software developers, playing a key role in productizing Kipu’s state-of-the-art quantum algorithms.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Improving the engineering of quantum algorithms including exploring better encodings of problems, classical pre- and post-processing methods, improving efficiency of transpilation.
• Work to continuously improve the benchmarking process of quantum algorithms and quantum solvers
• Work with the team to design API based quantum solvers hosted on our product platform from the embedding of the problem going into its implementation using Kipu’s state-of-the-art quantum algorithms on quantum hardware and to the rebuilding of the solution of the initial problems
• Manage and optimize the maintenance of deployed quantum solvers
• Work with the team to continuously improve the productization process
