We are seeking aQuantum Compiler Engineerfor ourBroomfield, COlocation.

Our compiler team is at the forefront of bridging the gap between groundbreaking quantum applications and the unparalleled computing power of quantum machines. As a Quantum Compiler Engineer, you are invited to join an interdisciplinary team of physicists and software developers dedicated to transforming platform agnostic quantum algorithms into concrete, executable instructions tailored for our state-of-the-art trapped-ion quantum computers.

In this role, you will engage in pioneering work, collaborating closely with compiler specialists to forge user-friendly languages and tools designed for crafting quantum programs. Your expertise will be instrumental in advancing the development of sophisticated heuristics and algorithms. These innovations are critical for optimizing the routing of ions across complex topologies, significantly enhancing the speed and efficiency of quantum applications executed on our platforms.

By contributing to our team, you will not only play a key role in optimizing code generation for quantum computing but also in shaping the future of quantum technology. Your work will ensure that our quantum computers can realize their full potential, unlocking new possibilities for solving some of the world's most challenging problems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Support a commercially deployed quantum compiler and emulator
  • Design and develop compiler front-end (quantum languages), back-end (machine-specific targeting), and optimization (quantum circuit optimization and classical optimization) passes operating on both classical and quantum operations
  • Benchmark, profile, and iteratively improve the execution performance of our compiler and the quality and performance of quantum programs aligned to current and future architectures
  • Collaborate on the design and implementation of a compiler targeting a real-time, distributed execution environment
  • Work with a diverse team including physicistsand other engineering disciplines to solve complex problems
  • Create high quality code in an R&D and rapid prototyping environment

YOU MUST HAVE:

  • Bachelors Degree minimum
  • Minimum 1+ years of industry or post-graduate experience in an engineering, lab, or R&D environment
  • Minimum 3+ years of programming experience with Python, Rust, C++, or similar language
  • Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. Person. defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status
  • Due to national security requirements imposed by the U.S. Government, candidates for this position must not be a People's Republic of China national or Russian national unless the candidate is also a U.S. citizen.

WE VALUE:

  • Masters/PhD degree in Computer Science
  • Strong understanding of compiler design fundamentals
  • Ability to understand, combine, and apply algorithms to solve complex problems
  • Ability to solve complex problems and ability to communicate how you did it
  • Track-record of using python or other rapid prototyping and development tools to solve complex challenges
  • Rust development experience especially including any LLVM or optimization algorithm development
  • Demonstrated ability to work with a variety of algorithms, including tree, graph, SAT, and, at times Machine Learning and other algorithms
  • History of working with and developing for the LLVM toolchain
  • Experience with LLVM IR and MLIR
  • Experience with development of application-specificalgorithms, especially where exact/optimal solutions are computationally intractable
  • Proficiency with software testing and deployment tools
$128,000 - $161,000 a year
Compensation & Benefits:
Non-Incentive Eligible
Estimated Salary Wage: $128,000 - $161,000 Annually

What is in it for you?

-A competitive salary and innovative, game-changing work

Quantum Computing Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why yesterday’s pay survey is meaningless in today’s quantum landscape Ask a Quantum Software Engineer debugging Qiskit kernels at midnight, a Cryogenic Hardware Engineer coaxing qubits below 10 mK, or a Quantum Algorithm Researcher squeezing decoherence budgets: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer shifts faster than a Rabi oscillation. Since early 2024, the UK Government funded £2.5 billion across its National Quantum Strategy, Amazon Braket and Azure Quantum slashed circuit prices, & post‑quantum cryptography mandates yanked quantum literacy into cyber road‑maps. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed last year looks like an outdated calibration curve—blind to the silicon spin‑qubit breakthroughs in Cambridge, the Oxford ion‑trap scale‑ups, or the London quantum‑software unicorn that closed a £200 million Series C. To swap guesswork for evidence, QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk has distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, region, & seniority & you’ll instantly see a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no vague “competitive” claims. This article unpacks that formula, highlights the forces pushing quantum‑computing pay skywards, & gives five practical moves to lift your market value inside ninety days.

How to Present Quantum Computing Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Quantum computing is one of the most advanced, promising—and misunderstood—fields in technology. While the science behind quantum algorithms, qubits, and entanglement is complex, your ability to explain it clearly is becoming a core skill for anyone pursuing a job in the sector. Whether you're applying for a quantum software developer role, a research position, or a client-facing solution engineer post, many UK employers now assess your ability to present technical concepts to non-technical audiences—especially funders, executives, policy-makers, and clients. This guide will help you structure your presentations, simplify quantum concepts, use effective visuals, and deliver with confidence. Because in quantum computing, how you communicate is just as important as what you compute.

Quantum Computing Jobs UK 2025: 50 Companies Hiring Now

Bookmark this page—we refresh the Hotlist every quarter so you always know who’s really scaling their quantum‑tech teams. The UK’s £2.5 billion National Quantum Strategy is in full swing, six regional hubs opened new testbeds this spring, and corporate pilots jumped from “proof‑of‑concept” to “production prototype”. Result? Employers are scrambling for quantum‑hardware physicists, cryo‑electronics engineers, quantum‑algorithm developers, error‑correction researchers, product managers & technical sales talent right now. Below you’ll find 50 organisations that advertised UK‑based quantum‑computing vacancies or announced head‑count growth during the past eight weeks. They’re grouped into five quick‑scan categories so you can jump straight to the kind of employer—& mission—that excites you.
