Applied Scientist
The Quantum Algorithms Team at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is looking to hire an Applied Scientist. In this role, you will conduct theoretical research into applications of fault-tolerant quantum computers and develop new quantum algorithms. You will work on the forefront of quantum computing research and contribute toward the development of useful quantum technology, working alongside theoretical and experimental scientists, engineers, and technicians across the CQC. You should have a deep and broad knowledge of quantum algorithms and applications for fault-tolerant quantum computers, and standard mathematical and computational methods for analyzing them.

Key job responsibilities include:

• Collaborate with other members of the Quantum Algorithms Team and our academic collaborators, to analyze and optimize existing quantum algorithms
• Think big to invent new quantum algorithms and discover new application areas for fault-tolerant quantum computers
• Provide subject matter expertise on the topic of quantum algorithms, and communicate the latest developments to the broader quantum computing team
• Work with internal and external stakeholders to strengthen the long-term value proposition of quantum computing
• Interact with the Quantum Error Correction team to understand the interplay between quantum algorithms and quantum error correction
• Publish research papers in scientific journals and present at conferences
• Mentor research interns working on scientific projects

Organization and communication skills are essential.
