## Description

This role has been designed as ''Hybrid'' with a requirement that you will work on average 2 days per week from an HPE office., The HPE Quantum team at HPE Labs is developing new approaches for quantum computing, including integration with high performance computing (HPC). As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be at the forefront of efforts to bring quantum computing from research to practical reality. You will bring expertise in software development and quantum computing to develop and extend quantum circuit compilation, circuit execution, resource estimation, and circuit simulation capabilities. Working closely with a multidisciplinary team of engineers, researchers, and product managers, you will build usable, efficient, and innovative systems that combine quantum and high-performance computing. The preferred candidate has a strong technical background in both quantum computing and HPC, advanced programming skills, and the ability to communicate complex ideas to diverse audiences., * Develop and demonstrate software that supports quantum computing applications and HPC-QC system management through job management, scheduling, compilation, and workflow frameworks

 * Create software adapters that connect quantum computing software tools (compilers, SDKs) with other tools using open standards where possible, and evaluate open-source and commercial software for inclusion in integrated HPC-QC environments
 * Develop functional and unit tests, support code quality with automated testing and continuous integration, and assist with code reviews
 * Implement and improve software prototypes to support research efforts, extending open source software as needed
 * Create mock-up and test bed systems to demonstrate HPC-QC software capabilities
 * Prepare internal and external demonstrations, create technical documentation, and write portions of research papers relating to software development efforts
 * Contribute to the development of open specifications and standards to support interoperability in quantum computing, All legitimate job opportunities will come through official company channels, and candidates are responsible for verifying the credentials of any third party claiming to represent the company. Any reliance on fraudulent communication is at the individual's own risk, and HPE disclaims legal liability for any resulting damages. If you suspect recruitment fraud, do not share personal information or make any payments and report the incident to your local authorities immediately.
