私たちは、熱意と高度な技術力を兼ね備えたQuantum Algorithm Engineer(量子アルゴリズムエンジニア)を募集しています。この職務は、エンジニアリング、教育、コミュニティ・エンゲージメントが交錯するところに位置しており、複雑な概念を説明し、開発者を支援し、量子コンピューティングの普及を加速させることに情熱を持つ方に最適です。IBMのQuantum Algorithm Engineerとして、あなたはQuantum Innovation Centerと協力し、専用およびクラウドベースの量子コンピューターを最大限に活用し、量子ユーティリティへの道筋に直接貢献します。さらに、ユーザーの声を社内に届け、ワークショップ、イベント、チュートリアル、コードなどを通じてIBMの最新機能を世界に発信します。技術だけでなく、人々をつなげ、コミュニティ内での成長を促すことにも情熱を持つ必要があります。理想的な候補者は、科学者や開発者と効果的に対話できるコミュニケーション能力を持ち、技術的な聴衆に対して複雑な概念を教えることができる方です。多数の社内外ステークホルダーと連携し、複数チームにまたがる複雑な課題に取り組む一方で、独立して業務を優先順位づけ、効果的に遂行できる能力も求められます。

Your Role And Responsibilities

At IBM Quantum, our mission is to bring useful quantum computing to the world.

IBM brings the most performant quantum computers and enables the quantum community to develop early quantum computing use cases with the Qiskit software stack.

Today, our IBM Quantum Network comprises 275+ Fortune 500 companies, academic institutions, national laboratories, and startups, all striving toward the common goal of extracting value from quantum computers.

IBM is driving this technology forward along an ambitious roadmap aimed at demonstrating quantum advantage by end of 2026, delivering the first fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2029.

We hope you'll join us on this mission.

About The Role


We are seeking a passionate and technically skilled Quantum Algorithm Engineer to join our team and enable a vibrant ecosystem around our quantum computing platform.

This role sits at the intersection of engineering, education, and community engagement—ideal for someone who thrives on explaining complex concepts, supporting developers, and accelerating adoption of quantum computing.

As a Quantum Algorithm Engineer at IBM, you will be responsible for working with Quantum Innovation Centers to get the most out of our quantum computers, both dedicated and on the cloud systems, directly impacting the path towards quantum utility.

You'll represent the voice of users internally and bring the company's latest capabilities to the world through workshops, events, tutorials, code, and more.

You must be passionate not only for technology but also for connecting people and seeing individuals grow within our community.

The ideal candidate must also possess communication skills appropriate for engaging scientists and developers while teaching complex concepts to a technical audience.

You will liaise with numerous internal and external stakeholders and tackle complex problems which will often involve several teams, while still being able to operate independently to prioritize tasks effectively.

Key Responsibilities

Your responsibilities include


Working with researchers and engineers across the IBM Quantum Network (IQN) to understand, analyze and optimize quantum computing performance on state-of-the-art hardware and software.

Working closely with the software development and product teams in new capability testing to expand IBM Quantum's software tools and capabilities.

This includes i) providing feedback on early internal prototypes, and ii) identifying (client-related) gaps in existing software and engaging with Product and leaders to address them.

Implementing production-quality software across IBM Quantum's software stack
Maintaining up-to-date technical skills and knowledge of latest developments in quantum computing and related fields.
