Job Description
Join Nebula Systems, a visionary leader in post-classical computing, as we architect the infrastructure for the 2026 technological landscape. We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Quantum Algorithm Engineer to pioneer scalable quantum software solutions that redefine the boundaries of computation.
In this pivotal role, you will bridge the gap between abstract quantum mechanics and robust, production-grade software. You will work at the intersection of physics and computer science, developing algorithms that solve complex optimization problems currently deemed unsolvable by classical computers. If you are driven by the challenge of the unknown and want to define the future of global industries, we invite you to lead our quantum revolution.
Why Nebula Systems?
- Work on cutting-edge technology that will power the next decade of innovation.
- Competitive compensation package and equity for top-tier talent.
- Flexible remote-first culture with a hub in the heart of San Francisco.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement high-performance quantum algorithms for logistics, finance, and material science applications.
- Utilize quantum frameworks (Qiskit, Cirq, PyQuil) to write and debug quantum circuits with low error rates.
- Collaborate closely with hardware engineering teams to optimize qubit coherence and error correction strategies.
- Translate complex mathematical models into efficient quantum software architectures.
- Mentor junior quantum engineers and foster a culture of continuous learning and research.
- Contribute to the development of quantum virtualization layers and cloud integration tools.
Qualifications
- Ph.D. or Master’s degree in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
- 3+ years of professional experience in quantum computing, algorithm development, or theoretical physics.
- Expert proficiency in Python, C++, and classical high-performance computing (HPC).
- Deep understanding of linear algebra, probability theory, and complex systems.
- Hands-on experience with quantum simulators and cloud quantum platforms (IBM Quantum, AWS Braket, Google Cirq).
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a fast-paced, experimental environment.
