We are seeking an Advanced Software Engineer - Hybrid Quantum-HPC Orchestration in our Broomfield, CO location to design and develop a hybrid workflow orchestrator between Quantinuum quantum processors and classical supercomputing resources in the United States.

Quantinuum is bridging the gap between classical high-performance computing (HPC) and next-generation Quantum Processing Units (QPUs). We are building the foundational software stack that allows researchers and engineers to solve intractable problems by seamlessly integrating quantum acceleration into traditional supercomputing workflows.

Key Responsibilities:

• Write high quality, maintainable code in an R&D and rapid prototyping environment
• Build and maintain scalable orchestration software to manage hybrid quantum-classical workflows.
• Develop robust interfaces between HPC job schedulers (e.g., Slurm) and quantum runtimes, optimizing data movement and job scheduling.
• Work with QPU hardware control systems and SDKs to integrate quantum execution into production pipelines.
• Ensure high availability, monitoring, and debugging of distributed hybrid systems.

YOU MUST HAVE:

• Bachelors Degree minimum
• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• 5+ years of experience in Python, Rust and/or C++
