Optimization Algorithm Developer

Are you interested in quantum computing and quantum algorithms? QMill is developing new quantum algorithms that could solve specific problems better than any classical solution. We are looking for an experienced optimization algorithm developer to join our quantum algorithm team in Espoo, Finland. Your key goals are to develop efficient optimization algorithms using both classical and quantum resources and demonstrate their use in customer use cases. The classical algorithms should be adapted to parallel processing on local GPU clusters or on supercomputers such as Lumi. You’ll participate in the development and the design of the algorithms and the software architecture of the implementations. You derive requirements for the optimization algorithms and software and communicate with customers to understand use case specifications and requirements. While a background in quantum algorithm development is not mandatory, we seek individuals who possess a genuine interest in the potential of quantum computing and are eager to learn more about this groundbreaking field.What will you doDesign and develop optimisation algorithms and their implementationsDevelop of hybrid algorithms using both quantum and classical resourcesCooperate with the quantum algorithm developersCommunicate with customers to derive the use case demonstration requirementsWe are looking forMinimum of 5 years of experience in optimization algorithm development either in academia or industryExperience in classical and / or quantum optimization algorithmsAt least 2 years of experience in leading projects of small teams is a plusStrong systematic thinking and adherence to good software development practices to write efficient codeExperience in writing code for parallel computing e.g. for GPU clusters is a plusExperience with HPC environments is a plusKnowledge of the basics of quantum computing and quantum algorithmsMaster degree in computer science, physics or mathematics. Ph.D. is a plusWhat you need to succeedGood at communicating and collaborating with peopleFluent in written and spoken EnglishProactive and creativeEfficient and productiveAble to identify and solve problems independently and understand the big picture to provide input at all stages of project workFlexible and adaptive to handle uncertainty of dynamic research topicsWhat we are offeringVisionary work in quantum algorithms. We offer positions at the cutting edge of technology, science and engineering of quantum algorithms. Our research agenda is dedicated to finding quantum advantage algorithms that can be used to solve specific problems or even systemic and technological challenges in the society and business, so your work will be groundbreaking with a real, positive impact.Great career opportunities, and superb colleagues. Our personnel are highly educated research-oriented professionals. Collaborating in a multi-disciplinary team with top talent is a source of learning, inspiration, and fun. As we progress towards quantum advantage there will be new roles and responsibilities to grow into.Support for your well-being. Without our personnel we cannot succeed, so we take good care of them. We aim to nurture great team spirit and leadership and enable a good work-life balance.Apply now and join our journey into the realm of quantum algorithms!Please send your CV and application with your salary request as soon as possible. We will process applications as they come in, and fill in the position as soon as we find the right candidate.Interested and want to hear more?For further information, please contact Omar Castro: info@qmill.comWe look forward to hearing from you!QMill – The first to unlock quantum advantage
