Full Job Description

DESCRIPTION

Amazon Braket is investing in fault-tolerant quantum computing capabilities. We are looking for a Senior Applied Scientist with deep expertise in quantum error correction to work on compilation science as part of a team of scientists and engineers building fault-tolerant quantum capabilities.

In this role, you will make design choices that directly influence production systems, working alongside the FTQC Science Lead to translate research direction into implementable solutions: which error correction approaches to pursue, how to map logical circuits to physical qubits, how to optimize resource usage, and how to integrate decoders into execution flows. You will work at the boundary of science and engineering, where your research directly informs what gets built. This is not a purely theoretical role. You will implement your ideas, benchmark them against real hardware constraints, and iterate with software engineers who translate your designs into scalable infrastructure.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have taken QEC research from theory into implementation, whether in simulation or on physical hardware.

Key job responsibilities

Drive scientific design decisions for fault-tolerant quantum workloads: error correction code selection, logical gate synthesis, and qubit mapping strategies
Develop and implement resource estimation algorithms that guide compilation optimization
Collaborate with software engineers to translate QEC research into production software
Benchmark approaches against realistic hardware noise models and device constraints
Work with quantum hardware providers on compilation strategies tailored to specific architectures
Publish research in coordination with the broader Braket science team, representing Amazon Braket at relevant conferences and workshops

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Knowledge of programming languages such as C/C++, Python, Java or Perl
PhD in Physics, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or related field with focus on quantum information science
3+ years of research experience in quantum error correction (academic or industry)
Track record of publications in QEC, fault-tolerant quantum computation, or closely related areas
Experience implementing quantum algorithms or error correction protocols in simulation or on real hardware

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience implementing QEC protocols on physical quantum devices (any modality)
Specific experience in one or more of: syndrome extraction, decoder design and integration, logical gate synthesis, or code distance optimization
Experience with multiple qubit modalities (superconducting, trapped ion, or neutral atom architectures)
Experience with error correcting codes (surface codes, color codes, or other topological codes)
Familiarity with quantum compilation tools (Stim, PyMatching, TKET, or similar)
Experience working at the science-engineering boundary in a product-oriented environment
