Job Description
We are pioneering the next era of computing, targeting the 2026 quantum supremacy roadmap. If you are a visionary engineer ready to leave silicon behind and build the infrastructure for a post-classical world, we want to talk to you.
At Vertex Horizon Labs, we are developing error-corrected quantum processors that will redefine cryptography, drug discovery, and artificial intelligence. This is not just a job; it is a mission to shape the technological foundation of the 21st century.
Why Join Us?
- Work on bleeding-edge hardware-software co-design.
- Competitive equity package with 2026 milestone bonuses.
- Collaborate with world-class physicists and cryptographers.
Responsibilities
- Architecture Design: Design and implement scalable quantum circuits and error correction protocols tailored for superconducting qubit architectures.
- Algorithm Optimization: Translate classical machine learning models into quantum algorithms (VQE, QAOA) for execution on our proprietary 2026 roadmap hardware.
- Software Stack Development: Develop and maintain software libraries (Qiskit, Cirq, or custom) to interface with quantum processing units (QPUs).
- Simulation & Modeling: Build high-fidelity quantum simulators to test theoretical models before hardware deployment.
- Performance Tuning: Analyze noise profiles and optimize gate fidelities to extend coherence times.
Qualifications
- Education: PhD in Quantum Physics, Computer Science, or Mathematics with a focus on quantum information theory.
- Experience: 5+ years of experience in quantum computing, with direct involvement in quantum software development or experimental quantum physics.
- Technical Skills: Proficiency in Python, C++, and quantum programming frameworks (Qiskit, PyQuil, or Cirq).
- Mathematical Proficiency: Strong understanding of linear algebra, complex analysis, and group theory.
- Problem Solving: Demonstrated ability to solve complex optimization problems under uncertainty and noise.
