Job Description

Quantum Algorithms Engineer - Canada

Position Title:

Quantum Algorithms Engineer - Canada

Location:

Canada (hybrid/remote within Canada)

Experience:

3-5 years

Company:

SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc.

About the Role:

SuperQ is seeking a

Quantum Algorithms Engineer

to design, prototype, and implement quantum and hybrid algorithms on the Super Platform - our AI-driven supercomputing environment integrating GPU, quantum and parallel computing. The successful candidate will also contribute to improving the platform's core architecture and performance.

Responsibilities:

Design and implement quantum and hybrid algorithms (e.g., annealing, gate-model, hybrid quantum-classical) for optimization, simulation, and ML applications. Work closely with the engineering team to integrate these algorithms into the Super Platform's hybrid solver architecture. Benchmark algorithmic performance across quantum annealing, gate-based quantum, and classical solvers. Contribute to the core platform build: improve quantum-classical orchestration, performance tuning, and deployment pipelines. Collaborate with domain leads (e.g., healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, finance) to tailor algorithm modules for industry-specific problem statements. Produce reproducible notebooks, performance dashboards, automated test suites, and documentation for algorithm modules.

Requirements:

3-5 years of experience in quantum computing, scientific computing, optimization or a closely related field. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Electrical/Computer Engineering (or equivalent); Master's strongly preferred. Proficiency in one or more quantum SDKs: for example Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane, AWS Braket or equivalent. Strong programming skills: Python required; experience with libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, and quantum-specific frameworks. Solid mathematical foundations: linear algebra, graph theory, optimization (QUBO, Ising-models, MILP). Experience in hybrid quantum-classical workflows, performance benchmarking and algorithmic optimisation. Ability to communicate complex technical ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Bonus: experience with GPU-acceleration (CUDA-Q), quantum hardware exposure, cloud quantum services, open-source contributions or published work in quantum computing.

Work Culture:

We foster a

collaborative research-meets-engineering environment

: you will sit at the intersection of cutting-edge quantum methods and real-world systems. Flat organisation, open communication: bring ideas, experiment, iterate. Ownership mindset: you will own modules end-to-end, from prototype to production. Strong emphasis on

learning

,

curiosity

, and

innovation

- we expect you to push boundaries and help build the future of computing. Global & diverse team: though based in Canada, you'll work across time zones collaborating with UAE, US, Europe. Focus on work-life balance: flexible hours, remote-friendly, and inclusive of personal commitments.

Skills Required:

Quantum Algorithms, Hybrid Quantum-Classical Computing, Python Programming, Qiskit / Cirq / PennyLane / Braket, Linear Algebra & Optimization, Quantum Annealing & Gate Models, Performance Benchmarking, Scientific Computing (NumPy / SciPy), GPU Acceleration (CUDA / HPC), Algorithm Integration & Collaboration
