Quantum Software Developer - PennyLane Core

Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere.

At Xanadu, we are learners, innovators, researchers, collaborators and problem solvers.

We are creating something that has never been built before.

Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this, where if we are successful, the technologies we develop will solve some of the world’s most challenging problems, and literally change the world.

And that is something to be excited about!

As part of the PennyLane Core team, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining PennyLane , our open-source framework for quantum programming.

In this role you will:

• Design, implement, and optimize core infrastructure and APIs within PennyLane to ensure the framework seamlessly scales for increasingly complex, utility-scale quantum workflows.
• Turn cutting-edge theoretical breakthroughs in quantum algorithms development into robust, production-grade software features.
• Work closely with our Performance, Compilation, FTQC, Architecture and Research teams to integrate advanced execution pipelines.
• Actively participate in the open-source lifecycle of PennyLane, ensuring high standards for community contributions, documentation, and testing.

• Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or a closely related technical field.
• Demonstrated education, training, or professional experience in quantum computing, quantum information or a related field.
• Proven experience in production-grade Python software development with focus on writing clean, modular and maintainable code.
