Key skills for this role
As a Senior Systems Architect, you are responsible for the overall architecture of the server that will connect to GPU/XPU scale-up networks and will enable the quantum computing sub-systems to exponentially speed up production training and inference workloads. You will design, analyze, and model how heterogeneous compute elements interconnect, synchronize, and scale—focusing on GPU scale-up fabrics, collective communication, and system-level performance bottlenecks. This is a hands-on architecture role for someone who enjoys moving between whiteboard-level system design, performance modeling, and lightweight simulation/emulation, with direct influence on hardware, firmware, and software co-design decisions.
Sygaldry Technologies is building quantum-accelerated AI servers to exponentially speed up training and inference for AI. By integrating quantum and AI, we're accelerating the path to superintelligence, and engineering the conditions for it to scale efficiently and operate affordably. Sygaldry AI servers combine multiple qubit types within a single, fault-tolerant architecture to deliver the combination of cost, scale, and speed necessary for advanced AI applications. We pioneer new domains in physics, engineering, and AI, tackling the hardest challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture. We're looking for individuals ready to define the intersection of quantum and AI and drive its profound global impact.

System Architecture
Architect end-to-end heterogeneous compute systems spanning CPUs, GPUs, accelerators, and quantum-adjacent subsystems.
Analyze scale-up interconnects (e.g., NVLink, UALink, Infinity Fabric, or equivalent) and their impact on latency, bandwidth, and synchronization.
Design timing arcs, critical paths, and throughput models across complex multi-device systems.
Identify system-level bottlenecks in training, inference, and reinforcement learning workflows at hyperscaler scale.
Model and reason about GPU collective operations (e.g., NCCL, RCCL, or equivalents) across nodes, racks, and pods.
Evaluate how collective communication patterns interact with emerging accelerators and non-GPU compute elements. Work with software and firmware teams to ensure architectural assumptions map cleanly to real-world implementations.
Act as a bridge between hardware, systems, and software teams, translating requirements and constraints across domains.
Collaborate with quantum hardware engineers to define clean interfaces and timing contracts—without requiring quantum domain expertise.
Engage with external partners and ecosystems (e.g., interconnect standards bodies, silicon vendors, hyperscaler partners).
Have least five years of experience architecting similarly complex high performance systems deployed in production datacenters
Are familiar with GPU scale-up domains generally, such as NVLink, UALink or other scale-up architectures
Are familiar with the AI training and inference workflows in large (i.e. hyperscaler) data centers and the main bottlenecks in training, training and reinforcement learning
Your work accelerates the path to quantum superintelligence. Each quantum component integrated, each AI model enhanced, each instruction set optimized brings us closer to a future where intelligence and quantum mechanics are inextricably intertwined. We're not building incremental improvements - we're creating exponential transformations that will make AI more affordable, sustainable, personalized, and fundamentally more capable.
We’re building the infrastructure for quantum superintelligence and pioneering new domains at the intersection of physics, engineering, and AI. At Sygaldry, curiosity and intellectual courage drive our work. We approach ambitious challenges with a grounded, optimistic, and rigorous culture and know that kind people build the strongest teams. We prioritize mission over ego and collaborate openly with a strong sense of shared purpose. We dream big, yet we execute with a love of detail. We’re looking for scientists, engineers, and operators to forge new paths with us at the intersection of quantum and AI.
