IBM Quantum Circuit Synthesis and Compilation Researcher

Job description

Introduction
At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, lets talk.

Your Role and Responsibilities
As a Research Scientist with the IBM Quantum Software team, you will be working at the intersection of theory and experiments to demonstrate novel compilation techniques for modern quantum hardware and help deliver them as part of IBM's quantum software stack, including but not limited to the open-source Qiskit package.

You will be a member of a cross-disciplinary, global team of developers and researchers whose mission is to co-design current and near-future systems with demonstrated utility. You will have the opportunity to work closely with software and hardware engineers, theorists, and experimentalists, and will make an impact on the development of state-of-the-art, scalable quantum computing.
