🧠 Role Overview

We are hiring a Quantum Algorithm Specialist to design, map, and optimize quantum algorithms specifically for financial use cases. You’ll define and implement core algorithmic logic — such as QAOA or VQE — for our optimization workloads in the MVP phase.

🔧 Responsibilities

• Map classical financial optimization problems (e.g., portfolio optimization, risk minimization) into quantum form
• Develop algorithms using QAOA, VQE, or other variational quantum circuits
• Optimize performance of quantum circuits for simulators and hardware
• Collaborate with the quantum and API teams to ensure algorithmic logic is fully integrated into the system
• Help shape quantum problem abstraction layer for future provider-agnostic execution

✅ Requirements

• Strong background in quantum algorithms (QAOA, VQE, Grover’s, etc.)
• Proficient in Qiskit, Cirq, or PennyLane
• Mathematical depth in optimization, linear algebra, and Hamiltonian modeling
• Familiarity with simulators and variational circuit convergence issues

🧩 Bonus

• Academic publications or projects in quantum finance
• Prior experience with quantum applications in portfolio selection, pricing, or supply chain
