Application Development: Develop and validate quantum computing applications by mapping real-world enterprise use cases (e.g., in optimization, machine learning, and finance) to quantum algorithms with proven computational speedups. Resource Estimation: Develop frameworks to resource-estimate circuit execution, translating algorithms into fault-tolerant physical hardware requirements. Automation: Be the technical lead for application mapping and resource estimation automation, defining structure, logic, trade-offs. Collaborate closely with our Software Development teams on implementation. Hardware Interface: Collaborate closely with Quantum Hardware and Systems Engineering teams to understand hardware specifications and feed back hardware optimisations. Algorithms Research: Stay on top of academic and industry developments in quantum algorithms and quantum error correction implementations. Requirements

Expertise: Deep expertise in quantum algorithms and resource estimation. Expertise in circuit compilation, quantum error correction/mitigation and noise modelling is highly preferred. Education: PhD in Quantum Computing, Computer Science or Quantum Information Science. Experience: 5+ years of post-degree research or industry experience in quantum algorithm / application development and resource estimation. Hardware affinity: Experience implementing quantum workflows on physical quantum hardware, or a close affinity to (superconducting) quantum hardware, as strong plus. Impact Mindset: A strong drive to move beyond purely theoretical algorithms and build practical quantum applications. Collaboration: You thrive in a collaborative environment and are comfortable taking ownership from day one.
