Hybrid Quantum Compute Platform Architect

OQC; Greater London; Hybride; GBP 120 000 - 160 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

OQC in London is seeking a Lead Platform Engineer to set the technical direction for our hybrid compute platform, connecting classical and quantum resources into a single extensible system. You will design foundations that enable product teams to run secure, observable workloads across CPUs, GPUs, simulators and QPUs.

This senior individual contributor role requires owning architecture, defining stable interfaces, and leading integrations with Databricks and QPU systems while remaining hands-on

Qualifications

• Significant experience as a senior distributed‑systems architect or engineer building compute platforms.
• Deep hands‑on engineering in Python, Go or Rust.
• Strong experience designing APIs, containerised systems and event‑driven architectures.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Slurm or comparable workload orchestration technologies.
• Strong understanding of security and observability within distributed platforms.
• Proven ability to design stable interfaces across heterogeneous compute or hardware resources.
• Technical depth to set architectural direction while remaining hands‑on.
• Strong ownership and communication across technical and commercial teams.
• Degree or equivalent practical experience in Computer Science or Software Engineering.

Responsabilités

• Own the architecture and technical direction of OQC's hybrid spine and execution-record contracts.
• Design stable abstractions across CPUs, GPUs, simulators and QPUs for workload mobility.
• Architect capability matching, orchestration, fallback mechanisms and backend adapters.
• Set engineering standards for reliability, security, testing, observability and extensibility while staying hands‑on.
• Lead integrations with Dell/AMD infrastructure, Databricks, QPU systems and customer environments.
• Coordinate technical contributors across Product, Engineering, Commercial and leadership teams.
• Shape the platform for long‑term evolution to support new compute resources.
