Remote Senior Quantum Engineer — PoC & AI Prototyping

Jimmy Technologies; United States; Remote; USD 150,000 - 250,000; Full time

Job summary

Jimmy Technologies is seeking a Senior Quantum Engineer to design and prototype quantum and hybrid quantum-classical solutions, build AI assets that support the firm-wide AI strategy, and contribute to ongoing AI and quantum R&D initiatives. The role emphasizes rapid PoCs, cross-functional collaboration, and long-term remote engagement.

The position requires hands-on quantum computing experience and strong Python/C++ coding skills, with the ability to operate across platforms such as IBM Qiskit

Qualifications

• 2-5 years of experience including at least 1 year in quantum computing (quantum algorithms/quantum cryptography)
• Deep understanding of quantum computing fundamentals — linear algebra, quantum mechanics, entanglement, superposition, and quantum error correction
• Hands-on experience with quantum algorithms — Shor's, Grover's, and variational quantum algorithms
• Gate-based quantum systems & IBM Qiskit, plus familiarity with quantum hardware (superconducting qubits, trapped ions)
• D-Wave quantum annealing — Leap/Ocean and hands-on QUBO formulation for optimization problems
• Knowledge of quantum cryptography and quantum NLP
• Strong Python skills, with a focus on optimization and computational efficiency
• Understanding of machine learning and deep learning algorithms (random forests, ensemble methods, DNNs, CNNs), with open-source frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Keras)
• Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and present prototypes and findings to technical and business stakeholders

Responsibilities

• Quantum algorithms: design, implement, and benchmark quantum algorithms for business use cases.
• Quantum optimization: formulate optimization problems as QUBOs and solve with D-Wave's quantum annealing (Leap/Ocean).
• Gate-based development: build and run quantum circuits using IBM Qiskit on platforms such as IBM Q, Rigetti, or Google Quantum.
• Prototyping & PoCs: rapidly turn hypotheses into prototypes, demos, and learnings for decision making.
• AI assets & R&D: develop AI assets (e.g., plugins) and contribute to R&D, including quantum NLP and quantum cryptography use cases.
• Performance: write efficient classical code (Python, C++, Julia) with a focus on optimization and computational efficiency.
