About Pasqal

PASQAL designs and develops Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) and associated software tools.

Our innovative technology enables us to address use cases that are currently beyond the reach of the most powerful supercomputers; these cases can concern industrial application challenges as well as fundamental science needs.

In addition to the exceptional computing power they provide, QPUs are highly energy efficient and will contribute to a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of the HPC industry.

Job Description

We are seeking a HPC software engineer to integrate Pasqal’s quantum technologies into high-performance computing environments by scheduling hybrid quantum-classical jobs with Pasqal QPUs alongside classical resources. . In this context, your main missions will be :

Connect Pasqal technologies (hardware and software) in our customers HPC infrastructure (e.g. Slurm, Qaptiva)
Steer collaboration with partners (e.g. NVIDIA and IBM) to natively integrate Pasqal technologies
Collaborate with the cloud team to integrate cloud QPUs and have converging experiences for the user
Optimize hybrid (quantum/classical) jobs running on our internal HPC cluster
Provide insights to the hardware team to align application optimization with internal hardware scheduling
Conduct technology watch on HPC-QC early stage domain

This list is non exhaustive

About You

Hard Skills

Experience in both low-level (e.g. C, Rust) and high-level (e.g. Python) programming languages
Knowledge of Linux operating system
Exposure to scientific computing and scheduling systems (e.g. Slurm, MPI, OpenMP, GPU programming)

Soft Skills

Autonomy and ownership, it’s a 3-people team with a broad scope
Interest for quantum computing
Team spirit and good communication skills

What We Offer

Beautiful brand new offices in Massy, France

About the Company

We build Programmable Quantum Simulators and Quantum Computers made of 2D and 3D Atomic Arrays. Neutral atoms trapped in optical tweezers and addressed with laser beams are ideal indistinguishable quantum systems to realize superposition and entanglement, at the heart of powerful Quantum Information Processing. It is a highly scalable platform, benefiting from tens of years of development which has brought some of contemporary physics' most spectacular achievements: Bose-Einstein condensation, cavity quantum electrodynamics...
