Lead Quantum/HPC Integration Engineer - US

Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems.

The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit 🐈‍⬛. In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously!

 

We're a diverse team of 200+ brilliant minds from over 30 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together!

Alice & Bob is building a new engineering team to transform quantum processors from laboratory curiosities into real tools for scientific computing. The integration of Alice & Bob’s quantum processors and fault-tolerant quantum computing architecture with production HPC systems requires serious architecture and engineering work that will encompass HPC resource management systems (Slurm, PBS, LSF), HPC programming methods (MPI, OpenMP, task-based models), HPC networking (libfabric, RDMA), operating systems support for accelerators and special-purpose hardware (GPUs, schedulers, drivers), DSP processing, performance engineering, and real-time scheduling.

A lead quantum/ HPC Integration Eengineer in this environment would have 15+ years of experience, substantial exposure to all or nearly all of the required disciplines, a reputation in at least one of them, and a demonstrated ability to lead others whose expertise exceeds their own. They will be capable of writing and reviewing production level code in C, C++, and Python, and be knowledgeable in legacy languages like FORTRAN and newer systems languages like Rust. Compiler implementation experience is not required, but could be useful. They will be able to transform concepts into clean and rigorous architecture, and architecture into efficient and maintainable code.

We will deliver working open-source software to allow Alice & Bob quantum processors to be integrated with and administered with HPC computing center networks and management systems.

 

This position is part of a US-based team. Alice & Bob’s physical offices in the United States are located in the Boston area, though remote working arrangements may be available.
