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:

  • 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 physicists and 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 4+ years of industry or post-graduate experience in an engineering, lab, or R&D environment
  • Minimum 6+ 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

  • Masters/PhD degree in Computer Science
  • Strong understanding of compiler design fundamentals
  • Ability to solve complex problems and ability to communicate how you did it
  • 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-specific algorithms, especially where exact/optimal solutions are computationally intractable
  • Proficiency with software testing and deployment tools
Compensation & Benefits:
Range posted is inclusive of bonus target when applicable.
Estimated Salary Wage: $128,000 - $187,000 Annually
What is in it for you?
-A competitive salary and innovative, game-changing work
