Job Description
We are on the cusp of a technological revolution. As we look toward the year 2026, the boundaries between artificial intelligence and quantum computing are dissolving. Nexus Horizon Technologies is seeking a visionary Quantum AI Architect to spearhead our R&D efforts in this uncharted territory.
In this role, you won't just be writing code; you will be defining the architectural paradigms of the next decade. You will bridge the gap between classical machine learning and quantum processing units (QPUs), ensuring our solutions are future-proof and scalable for the era of 2026.
Why join us? We offer competitive equity, a remote-first culture, and the chance to work on projects that will redefine the global tech landscape.
Responsibilities
- Architect Quantum-Classical Systems: Design and implement hybrid algorithms that leverage the power of quantum computing to solve complex AI problems.
- Lead 2026 Roadmap: Direct the technical roadmap for our upcoming quantum initiatives, ensuring we are prepared for the quantum leap in 2026.
- Post-Quantum Security: Develop robust security protocols and encryption standards that withstand the computational power of future quantum adversaries.
- Model Optimization: Collaborate with data scientists to refine neural network models for NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) devices.
- Talent Development: Mentor a high-potential team of researchers and engineers, fostering a culture of deep technical excellence.
Qualifications
- Education: Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field with a focus on Quantum Information Science.
- Experience: Minimum 5+ years of experience in AI/ML, with a strong portfolio involving quantum computing frameworks (e.g., Qiskit, Cirq, or PennyLane).
- Technical Proficiency: Deep understanding of classical machine learning algorithms (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and their quantum analogues.
- Strategic Vision: Proven ability to tackle abstract, high-level problems and translate them into concrete engineering solutions.
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written skills with the ability to explain complex quantum concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
