Senior SW architect

About this position

Are you interested in quantum computing and quantum algorithms? Would you like to be part of a team unlocking the quantum advantage? Do you want to change the world?

QMill is developing new quantum algorithms and SW solutions that could solve specific problems better than any classical solution. The problems can relate to optimization, simulation and machine learning, for example. QMill is well networked nationally and internationally and actively cooperates with the key players in the field. Get to know us further by visiting qmill.com.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Software Architect who combines deep technical expertise with leadership in software architecture and engineering processes. You will be responsible for designing and building core components of QMill’s hybrid quantum SW stack and cloud platform while establishing technical standards, mentoring engineers, and helping shape our overall software strategy. This is a hands-on role: you will design, code, review, and guide development from prototype to production.

What will you do

• Architect modular, scalable quantum-classical software solutions and QMill cloud platform.
• Write, refactor, and maintain high-performance quantum and classical code.
• Lead architecture decisions for:
  • Cloud platform and solution architectures
  • Quantum algorithm libraries
  • AI-assisted development workflows
• Design and enforce robust CI/CD, testing, and deployment standards for quantum SW solutions and QMill cloud platform.
• Serve as a technical mentor and code reviewer for SW developers, quantum algorithms developers and ML engineers.
• Evaluate and integrate third-party SDKs, quantum hardware APIs, and cloud platforms and tools.
• Lead or co-author internal documentation, process descriptions and reusable libraries

We are looking for

• 5+ years experience in software engineering or architecture, experience in quantum computing or high-performance computing is a plus.
• Strong background in software architecture, modular design, and DevOps-integrated pipelines.
• Experience working with cloud-native technologies, cloud services and APIs
• Experience leading end-to-end development processes, from design to deployment. 
• Demonstrated ability to write clean, scalable, production-ready code and guide others in doing the same.
• Proficiency in Python and experience with quantum SDKs like Qiskit, PennyLane, or Cirq.
• Familiarity with containerization, Git workflows, CI tools (e.g., GitHub Actions), and orchestration (e.g., Airflow, Prefect). 
• Excellent communication and leadership skills—able to collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Knowledge of the basics of quantum computing and quantum algorithms. Experience in quantum algorithm development is a plus.
• Master’s degree in computer science, physics or mathematics. Ph.D. is a plus

What you need to succeed

• Good at communicating and collaborating with people
• Fluent in written and spoken English
• Proactive and creative
• Efficient and productive
• Interest and experience in AI-assisted development tools
• Curiosity and passion to explore the potential of quantum computing
  

What we are offering

• Visionary work in quantum algorithms. We offer positions at the cutting edge of technology, science and engineering of quantum algorithms. Our research agenda is dedicated to finding quantum advantage algorithms that can be used to solve specific problems or even systemic and technological challenges in the society and business, so your work will be groundbreaking with a real, positive impact.
• Great career opportunities, and superb colleagues. Our personnel are highly educated research-oriented professionals. Collaborating in a multi-disciplinary team with top talent is a source of learning, inspiration, and fun. As we progress towards quantum advantage there will be new roles and responsibilities to grow into.
• Support for your well-being. Without our personnel we cannot succeed, so we take good care of them. We aim to nurture great team spirit and leadership and enable a good work-life balance.
