Job Description
Shape the Architecture of Tomorrow.
Aether Systems Inc. is at the forefront of the post-silicon era, pioneering quantum supremacy solutions for global logistics. As we approach the pivotal year of 2026, we are looking for a visionary Senior Quantum Algorithm Engineer to lead our research into non-linear computational pathways.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between theoretical physics and practical software engineering, building the algorithms that will power the next generation of autonomous infrastructure. If you are driven by the challenge of solving problems deemed impossible by classical computing, we want to hear from you.
Why join us?
- Work on cutting-edge technology that defines the decade.
- Competitive compensation packages including equity and stock options.
- Flexible remote-first policy with quarterly innovation sprints in our SF HQ.
- Access to proprietary quantum hardware prototypes.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement novel quantum algorithms for optimization and cryptography problems.
- Collaborate with physicists to translate theoretical models into executable code.
- Optimize existing Qiskit and Cirq pipelines for high-fidelity quantum gates.
- Conduct rigorous stress-testing of algorithms against classical benchmarks.
- Document technical findings and present roadmaps to the executive board.
Qualifications
- PhD or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Physics, or Mathematics with a focus on Quantum Mechanics.
- Minimum 5 years of experience in quantum computing or advanced algorithm design.
- Proficiency in Python, C++, and assembly-level quantum gate manipulation.
- Deep understanding of quantum error correction and decoherence mitigation.
- Proven track record of publishing in high-impact conferences (e.g., APS, QIP).
