About us

The Quantum Circuit team is seeking a Senior Quantum Developer to take on key tasks in Pasqals software stack, contributing to the logical computing architecture and implement key subroutines, interfacing internally and with external customers to investigate future quantum applications, and how to run them in digital hardware tailored to neutral atom architectures, in turn informing crucial developments of the latter.

The Quantum Circuit team is a cutting edge, R&D team focused on matching emerging digital HW capabilities from our devices to quantum protocols targeting the solution to some of the most complex problems in industry today.

We seek an enthusiastic, independent and knowledgeable colleague to expand our team, initially onboarding and contributing to existing projects, with the perspective of becoming a main point of contact in new ones.

Job description
