Job Description
Are you ready to architect the infrastructure of tomorrow? Nexus Horizon is seeking a visionary 2026 Quantum Infrastructure Architect to lead our transition into the post-classical computing era.
In this role, you will define the architectural blueprints for our next-generation quantum data centers. You will bridge the gap between theoretical physics and scalable software engineering, ensuring our systems are secure, efficient, and ready for the demands of the year 2026 and beyond.
We offer a competitive benefits package, including equity, remote flexibility, and the chance to work on projects that will define the future of computation.
Responsibilities
- Design & Deploy: Architect and oversee the deployment of scalable quantum network architectures and error-corrected qubit clusters.
- Strategic Roadmap: Define the technical roadmap for migrating legacy classical systems to quantum-ready platforms.
- Performance Optimization: Continuously monitor and optimize system throughput, latency, and resource allocation.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Lead a diverse team of physicists, engineers, and data scientists to solve complex hardware-software integration challenges.
- Security Architecture: Implement post-quantum cryptography standards to secure sensitive data against future quantum threats.
- R&D Collaboration: Partner with leading research institutions to stay ahead of breakthroughs in quantum computing.
Qualifications
- Education: Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Physics, or a related field with a focus on quantum mechanics.
- Experience: 8+ years of experience in systems architecture, cloud infrastructure, or high-performance computing.
- Technical Skills: Proficiency in quantum programming frameworks (Qiskit, Cirq, or PyQuil) and classical languages (Python, C++).
- Strategic Vision: Proven ability to translate complex research concepts into actionable engineering strategies.
- Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills for presenting technical concepts to executive stakeholders.
- Problem Solving: Strong analytical skills with a track record of solving high-stakes technical problems.
