Job Description
Shape the computational frontier at Nexus Future Labs as we pioneer the next era of quantum computing in 2026. We're seeking visionary Quantum Algorithm Architects to design solutions that will redefine industries—from cryptography to AI optimization. Join our interdisciplinary team of Nobel laureates, ex-Google Quantum Lab researchers, and MIT-trained engineers in developing practical quantum applications that solve previously impossible problems. This role offers equity, unlimited PTO, and the chance to work with cutting-edge quantum hardware from IBM, Google, and Rigetti.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement novel quantum algorithms for optimization, simulation, and machine learning applications
- Collaborate with hardware engineers to optimize quantum circuits for next-gen processors
- Lead research on quantum error correction and fault-tolerant computing systems
- Develop hybrid quantum-classical workflows for enterprise clients in finance and biotech
- Publish breakthrough research in peer-reviewed journals and industry conferences
- Mentor junior quantum developers through our Quantum Academy program
- Secure patents for proprietary quantum methodologies and architectures
Qualifications
- PhD in Quantum Physics, Computer Science, or Mathematics with 3+ years industry experience
- Expertise in quantum programming languages (Qiskit, Cirq, Q#) and quantum circuit optimization
- Published research in quantum algorithms or quantum information theory
- Proficiency in linear algebra, probability theory, and quantum mechanics at graduate level
- Experience with cloud quantum platforms (IBM Quantum, Amazon Braket)
- Demonstrated ability to translate theoretical concepts into practical implementations
- Strong track record of solving NP-hard problems using quantum heuristics
