Job Description
Architect the Future of Intelligence
We are seeking a visionary Senior Quantum AI Architect to join Nexus Horizon AI. As we stand on the precipice of the 2026 technological revolution, you will be responsible for bridging the gap between quantum mechanics and artificial intelligence. This is not just a job; it is an opportunity to define the computing paradigm of the next decade.
Why Join Us?
- Work on state-of-the-art hardware-software co-design.
- Competitive equity package and benefits.
- Flexible remote-first culture with HQ in SF.
Role Overview
The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of both quantum computing principles and machine learning algorithms. You will lead the research and development of hybrid quantum-classical models designed to solve complex problems currently intractable for classical computers.
Responsibilities
- Algorithm Development: Design and implement novel quantum algorithms tailored for AI tasks, including quantum neural networks and quantum optimization.
- System Architecture: Architect scalable quantum software stacks that integrate seamlessly with existing cloud infrastructure and classical ML pipelines.
- Hardware Optimization: Collaborate with hardware engineers to optimize algorithms for current and next-generation quantum processors (NISQ devices).
- Research Leadership: Publish high-impact research papers and present at leading global conferences (e.g., Quantum Computing Summit).
- Team Mentorship: Guide junior researchers and engineers in the intersection of quantum physics and data science.
- Prototyping: Rapidly prototype and validate concepts using emulators and quantum simulators before full deployment.
Qualifications
- Education: PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field with a focus on Quantum Information Science.
- Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience in software engineering, with at least 2 years specifically in quantum computing or advanced AI research.
- Tools: Proficiency in Python, C++, and frameworks such as Qiskit, Cirq, or PyTorch Quantum.
- Theory: Strong grasp of quantum mechanics, linear algebra, and statistical mechanics.
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.
- Innovation: Demonstrated history of innovation and problem-solving in high-pressure, research-driven environments.
