Compiler Engineer

Join a Quantum hardware company building neutral-atom quantum computers and they are looking to hire a Compiler Engineer to work on their next-generation compiler and simulation stack. This is a true compiler role- not scripting, not tooling support. You’ll be building SSA-based compiler infrastructure, contributing to language design, and working directly alongside hardware and physics teams to co-design the compiler stack around real quantum systems.

• Develop and maintain SSA-based compiler infrastructure across multiple abstraction layers
• Design and implement domain-specific languages tailored to quantum hardware
• Build and evolve compiler pipelines from low-level hardware instructions to high-level programming interfaces
• Integrate simulation tooling into the compiler and cloud stack
• Contribute to optimisation, scheduling, and hardware-aware compilation strategies
• Strong foundations in compiler construction and programming languages
• Experience building or extending SSA-based compiler infrastructure
• Comfortable working across IR design, lowering, optimisation, and code generation
• Experience in at least one compiled language (C++, Rust, OCaml, Julia, etc.)
• Deep understanding of Python semantics and interpreter behaviour

This is one of the few opportunities where compilers are a core architectural driver of hardware - not just an afterthought. If you’re working in LLVM / MLIR / backend compiler infrastructure and want something genuinely deep-tech, let’s talk.
