Join Qutwo on our quest to bridge the gap between the classical and the quantum world. We unite Qutwo OS and world-class AI and quantum scientists with the most forward-looking enterprises to develop competitive edge through classical AI, hybrid, and full quantum systems. 

We are a fast-growing team of 30 – a collective of leading experts building on deep interdisciplinary academic and industry expertise across quantum computing, AI, optimization, and simulation. We bring together the brightest minds ready to tackle the most challenging problems in AI computing.

We are seeking an exceptional Senior Platform Architect to design the foundation of our hardware-aware quantum computing platform. If you thrive at the intersection of software architecture and cutting-edge quantum technology, this is for you.

Role Description 

As Senior Platform Architect, you will design the core architecture of Qutwo OS – the abstraction layer that enables seamless execution across quantum backends. Working closely with the CTO and Head of Research, primarily from our Helsinki office (Maria01), you will define the technical blueprint that transforms research innovations into a production-ready platform.

Qualifications we are looking for:

• Minimum 10 years of software architecture experience, with 3+ years in quantum computing
• Deep understanding of quantum hardware architectures (superconducting, trapped ion, annealing)
• Experience with quantum intermediate representations (OpenQASM, QIR, or similar)
• Proficiency with quantum SDKs (Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane)
• Strong background in distributed systems and API design
• Experience with cloud-native architectures (Kubernetes, microservices)
• Excellent communication skills to articulate complex technical concepts
• MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Physics, or related field preferred
• Experience in one or more of the following areas is a plus:
  • Compiler design or circuit optimization
  • High-performance computing (HPC) systems
  • Enterprise platform development

Practicalities

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and we encourage you to apply as soon as possible, as we are ready to hire when the right candidate is found.
