TL;DR

NVIDIA’s Quantum Computing team seeks a senior software engineer to contribute to the development of CUDA-Q, a platform for hybrid quantum-classical multi-processor systems. The role involves building core infrastructure for inter-device communication and efficient execution across multiple processors, collaborating with architects and product managers to create an extensible toolchain, solving complex problems at the intersection of compilers, HPC, and quantum computing, and enhancing processes and infrastructure to accelerate development. Ideal candidates have a degree in Computer Science or Physics, 5+ years of experience, expertise in GPU-programming, proficiency in parallel and distributed programming, and knowledge of compiler fundamentals. Familiarity with FPGA programming, HDLs, and LLVM/MLIR is preferred, along with a passion for system design and improving extensibility.
