## About the Role

As we continue to grow and explore new areas of research an exciting opportunity has arisen to join our talented team as a Quantum Algorithms Engineer. In this role the ideal candidate will have experience in the implementation of advanced quantum algorithms or otherwise strong evidence of potential to contribute to this area. A background in quantum computing is not necessarily required nor is a track record of publishing scientific papers in this area; however the candidate should be able to demonstrate a keen interest in quantum computing through formal or independent studies., * Good understanding of algorithms and algorithmic analysis.

 * Strong programming skills, including in Python.
 * Bachelor or Masters degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or closely related field.
 * Ability to work flexibly, independently, and to foster a pragmatic approach to producing efficient, workable code.

Desirable criteria:

 * Exposure to quantum computing and/or quantum information theory, via formal or independent studies.
 * Experience coding in quantum development environments (e.g. Cirq, Qiskit, QuEST) or in implementing quantum algorithms or novel classical algorithms on classical computers.
 * Either knowledge of quantum chemistry/materials science and experience coding with relevant computational packages such as Wannier90, PySCF; or otherwise experience with algorithms and software for combinatorial optimization such as Gurobi or SAT solvers.
 * Software engineering experience, including version control, CI/CD.

## Description

* Implementing and evaluating advanced classical and/or quantum algorithms based on technical papers and research conducted by our team of Quantum Algorithms Scientists.
 * Working collaboratively in a small team made up of full-time staff and affiliated PhD students.
 * Other activities as required to support the growth and success of Phasecraft.
