Member of Technical Staff, Fault Tolerant Quantum Compilation + Simulations

Unitary Foundation | Member of Technical Staff, Fault Tolerant Quantum Compilation + Simulations | REMOTE (US) | Full-time
Unitary Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit research group building a quantum technology ecosystem that benefits the most people. We build open-source infrastructure for quantum computing — current projects include Mitiq, UCC, and Clifft — and run community programs like microgrants and unitaryHACK.
We're hiring an MTS to help define and build our open-source compilation and simulation stack: compilation, simulation, error mitigation, resource estimation, benchmarking, and early fault-tolerant workflows. You'll join a small technical team doing research through sponsored collaborations with national labs, universities, and industry partners.

The role is about technical ownership — forming a technical point of view, proposing roadmaps, and building tools that become useful shared infrastructure. There's also room to experiment thoughtfully with AI-assisted research workflows.
We're looking for a track record of building software other people use (ideally open source), a strong background in quantum computing (fault tolerance, error correction, compilation, simulation), and strong Python; C++/Rust is a plus. A PhD is one possible background for this role, but not required.
