Original job description

About Xanadu:

Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere.

At Xanadu, we are learners, innovators, researchers, collaborators and problem solvers. We are creating something that has never been built before. Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this, where if we are successful, the technologies we develop will solve some of the world’s most challenging problems, and literally change the world. And that is something to be excited about!

Your role and responsibilities:

Building a high-performance software stack that makes optimal use of quantum hardware resources is key to realizing early, game-changing applications of quantum computing. As part of the PennyLane Performance Team, you author high-performance libraries that enable ultra-low latency communication between FPGAs and GPUs, develop other high-performance extensions such as the PennyLane-Lightning simulator suite, and contribute to the performance monitoring and benchmarking tooling for the PennyLane & Catalyst quantum software stack, ensuring PennyLane is the highest-performing framework for quantum computing.

You will:

Develop primitives/libraries that enable ultra-low latency communication between devices in a distributed, heterogeneous system (CPU/GPU/FPGA)
Develop high-performance software components, adapting to new hardware platforms and programming paradigms.
Convert abstract descriptions of algorithms into efficient & understandable software implementations.
Develop the framework for benchmarking the compilation and execution pipeline, tracking quantum resources through the stack, and profiling the quantum software.
Interpret and communicate complex concepts to the wider team.
Participate in software system specification, design, and quality assurance (e.g., requirements gathering, defining software architecture, documentation, verification & validation, etc.)
Provide leadership in software best practices, including continuous-integration pipelines, unit testing, & code review.

Basic Qualifications and Experience:

BSc in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Math, or a related field.
Demonstrated experience in low-level networking/systems programming (e.g. networking/low-latency communication (RDMA), concurrency and authoring of high-performance libraries, OS internals)
Proficiency in high-performance Modern C++ (C++17/20 preferred) and Python.
Deep understanding of computer architecture (CPU, GPU, memory hierarchy) coupled with hands-on experience in optimizing code for runtime and memory efficiency using professional profiling tools (e.g. perf, scalene, valgrind).
Proven ability to rapidly diagnose and resolve complex issues across compiled and interpreted environments using industry-standard debuggers.

Preferred Knowledge and Experience:

MSc, PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Math, or a related field.
Familiarity with code parallelization and accelerators: multithreading (e.g., OpenMP, C++ threads), multiprocessing (e.g., MPI), GPUs (e.g. CUDA, HIP/ROCm) or compiler offload directives.
Experience in designing and implementing scalable & reproducible scientific workloads on HPC / supercomputer platforms or cloud hardware (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
Expertise in quantum computing, as demonstrated by extensive coursework, thesis, or peer-reviewed publications.
Experience with writing complex quantum workflows and optimizing the use of quantum resources.
