Quantum Software Engineer

About this role

Anduril Labs seeks a Quantum Software Engineer to design and deploy quantum-enhanced solutions for defense and national security applications. You'll develop hybrid quantum algorithms, integrate quantum computing across defense systems, and work with cutting-edge quantum platforms alongside a multidisciplinary team of technologists and engineers.

What you'll do

• Design, develop, and deploy quantum-enhanced applications and services for defense and national security
• Develop hybrid quantum algorithms focused on practical scalability and real-world applicability
• Evaluate and communicate classical and quantum optimization algorithms, trade-offs, and performance characteristics
• Participate in full quantum software development lifecycle from concept through deployment and maintenance
• Collaborate with delivery leads, application developers, and solutions architects on quantum solutions
• Integrate quantum-enhanced solutions into existing and new defense systems

What they're looking for

• Quantum programming (Qiskit, CUDA-Q, Q#, Cirq, or PennyLane)
• C, C++, Python, or compiled general-purpose programming languages
• Linear algebra, matrix decompositions, probability theory, and computational complexity
• Database systems and SQL (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL)
• Git version control, build tools, and CI/CD pipelines
• Software testing (unit, integration, end-to-end)
• GenAI tools for code generation and debugging
• Classical optimization algorithms and solvers
