The posting

Summary

QuEra Computing is seeking a Quantum Scientist to develop decoder algorithms and advance the theory of quantum error correction (QEC) for neutral atom quantum computers. You will design and analyze decoding methods for quantum memories and fault-tolerant logical circuits, studying how code structure and realistic noise affect logical performance, computational complexity, and scalability. Research will span algorithmic, machine learning, and hybrid approaches. Working with theory, software, and experimental teams, you will build reference implementations, perform numerical studies, and identify decoding strategies that improve fault-tolerant quantum computation and inform practical implementation.

Required Qualifications

  • Advanced degree in Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent experience
  • Strong background in quantum error correction, quantum codes, and fault tolerance
  • Research experience in decoder design and analysis of algorithmic complexity
  • Experience evaluating decoders using analytical methods, numerical simulation, or both
  • Strong scientific programming skills for decoder research and clear communication

Preferred Qualifications

  • Decoding quantum memories or logical circuits under realistic circuit-level noise
  • Threshold estimation, finite-size scaling, or theoretical analysis of decoding performance
  • Machine learning, probabilistic inference, or hybrid methods for QEC decoding
  • Decoding for qLDPC or other quantum codes under loss, correlated errors, or hardware-informed noise models
  • Collaboration with experimental or software teams to connect decoder research with practical constraints

The approximate base salary range for this position is $130,400 - $211,900.

We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly. We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience. In addition to our base salary offerings, we also provide equity grants for all new hires.

QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
