Quantum Generative Model Engineer

OQC; Greater London; Hybrid; GBP 90,000 - 160,000; Full time

Job summary

OQC in London seeks a Quantum Algorithm Engineer specialising in Generative Models to develop low-qubit quantum generators and test them on simulators and real QPUs. You’ll benchmark against classical baselines and optimize for practical hardware constraints, turning research into repeatable platform components.

You will work across quantum algorithms, generative modelling and applied product development, with a strong emphasis on experimental validation and cross-functional collaboration within

Qualifications

• Experience as a quantum algorithms researcher or engineer, with a focus on low-qubit generative modelling.
• Hands-on experience with approaches such as QCBMs, qGANs, quantum Boltzmann methods, variational circuits or quantum sampling.
• Strong understanding of quantum algorithms and the practical constraints involved in executing them on current quantum hardware.
• A rigorous experimental approach, including benchmarking quantum techniques against credible classical alternatives.
• The ability to turn research questions into structured experiments, analyse results and use evidence to determine the next technical direction.
• Strong ownership and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across quantum, software, product and engineering disciplines.
• Degree or equivalent practical experience in Quantum Computing, Computer Science, Physics or a related discipline.

Responsibilities

• Develop conditional, low-qubit quantum generators for synthetic and rare-event data, including banking use cases.
• Design and evaluate approaches including latent-space QCBMs, adversarial models and continuous-output quantum generative methods.
• Experiment with QCBMs, qGANs, quantum Boltzmann methods, variational circuits and quantum sampling techniques.
• Benchmark quantum generative models rigorously against strong classical alternatives to establish where they provide meaningful value.
• Optimise circuits, measurements and training requirements around realistic QPU constraints and hardware limitations.
• Test and validate approaches across simulators and quantum hardware, using experimental evidence to guide development.
• Package validated quantum generator components for repeatable execution through OQC's hybrid computing platform.
