Principal Scientific Software Engineer – Quantum Error Correction


Location: Major US Tech Hub (Relocation Supported)


Ready to help build the future of computing?


Curious about shaping technology that could redefine science itself?


Looking for a role where your work doesn’t just scale systems—but changes what’s possible?


Our client is at the forefront of next-generation computing, working on breakthroughs that could transform industries from pharmaceuticals to climate modelling. They are now seeking a Principal Scientific Software Engineer to lead the evolution of a cutting-edge quantum error correction (QEC) software stack—a critical step toward making quantum computing truly scalable and practical.


This is more than a role. It’s an opportunity to be part of something genuinely game-changing, collaborating with world-class researchers and engineers to turn theoretical advances into real-world impact.


🌍 Why This Role is Great

In this position, you’ll take ownership of a highly sophisticated software ecosystem and help shape the future of quantum computing:

  • Architect the future of QEC software: Design and guide the development of an end-to-end error correction stack—from high-level logical circuits to low-level execution layers.
  • Push the boundaries of compiler innovation: Work on advanced compiler infrastructure, leveraging SSA-based architectures and multi-stage programming models to optimise quantum circuits.
  • Lead and inspire technical teams: Mentor talented engineers and collaborate across disciplines, fostering a culture of innovation and technical excellence.
  • Bridge theory and real-world systems: Partner with researchers and hardware specialists to translate cutting-edge ideas into production-ready software.
  • Drive meaningful scientific progress: Contribute to research initiatives, publications, and breakthrough demonstrations in quantum technology.
  • Own complex, high-impact challenges: From decoding algorithms to fault-tolerant circuit transformations, you’ll tackle problems that sit at the frontier of computing.


🧠 About You

This role is ideal for someone who thrives on solving deep technical challenges and shaping emerging technologies. You might bring:


  • A strong foundation in quantum computing, error correction, or compiler systems
  • Experience working with advanced programming languages (such as C++, Rust, Julia, Haskell, OCaml, or similar)
  • Familiarity with compiler infrastructure, intermediate representations, or optimisation strategies
  • A track record of leading technical projects or mentoring engineers
  • Exposure to complex software systems across the full development lifecycle
  • Interest in working at the intersection of science, software, and innovation


Even if you don’t meet every requirement, transferable experience and a passion for learning in this space are highly valued.


🚀 What You’ll Gain

  • The chance to work on world-changing technology at the cutting edge of science
  • Collaboration with leading experts in quantum computing and engineering
  • Opportunities to contribute to research, publications, and real-world breakthroughs
  • A supportive environment that encourages innovation, ownership, and growth
  • Competitive compensation, including equity and relocation support


💼 Package

  • Base salary range: $120,000 – $200,000 USD
  • Additional benefits include equity and a comprehensive package aligned with experience and location


🌈 Diversity & Inclusion

Our client and we are committed to building inclusive teams that reflect a wide range of perspectives and experiences. Applications are welcomed from all backgrounds, and hiring decisions are made based on merit, potential, and passion for the role.


📩 Ready to Make an Impact?

If you’re excited by the idea of shaping the future of computing and contributing to something truly transformative, we’d love to hear from you.


Apply now and take your place at the forefront of technological innovation.
