The Role
Terra Quantum is seeking a highly skilled Solutions Architect to lead the development and deployment of our scientific computing software into a robust, scalable SDK for on-premises and cloud platforms. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in software engineering and cloud solutions and a keen understanding of scientific or research-based software applications. The Solutions Architect reports to the Director of Advanced Technologies, supporting continuous research and development and interacting with scientists and software developers. With a clear and customer-oriented mindset, the Solutions Architect understands all the technical aspects of developing scalable, easy-to-use, practical, and intuitive software.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement scalable architecture for deploying scientific computing applications.
- Co-develop and maintain an SDK encapsulating scientific algorithms, enabling easy integration and scalability.
- Collaborate with research teams to understand their software needs and translate these into technical specifications.
- Oversee the development of web interfaces that interact with the cloud-deployed SDK.
- Manage the entire lifecycle of the prototype development, from initial architecture to ongoing maintenance.
- Work closely with the development team to establish continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
- Provide technical leadership and guidance on software best practices and innovations
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- Proven experience as a Solutions Architect or in a similar role, focusing on cloud technologies and software development.
- Familiarity with scientific computing applications and the ability to interface with research teams effectively.
- Good knowledge of Python and C++ and best coding practices.
- Strong knowledge of cloud service providers, such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
- Experience with containerisation and orchestration technologies, e.g., Docker.
- Experience with microservice architecture, running production and distributed systems.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
- Strong communication and organisational skills, as well as the ability and desire to teach and guide junior colleagues.
- Openness to learn new technologies that might be out of the scope of the current skill set.

Company description
Quantum technologies have the potential to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. There have been great advances in all areas of quantum technologies, and new fields of application are opened up every day. Hybrid computer systems that combine classic high-performance computing with quantum computers are already being used to develop solutions in sectors such as logistics, healthcare, finance, energy, automotive and aerospace. Quantum mechanical predictions are also used to obtain unprecedented precision in measurements, generate unbreakable codes, and form the basis of impenetrable communication networks. All these developments are happening right now, and they are happening at Terra Quantum.
At Terra Quantum we are building the world’s leading Quantum Technology company. We offer customers world-class quantum technology expertise organized as “quantum-as-a-service”: hybrid quantum algorithms, quantum compute and quantum enabled security solutions. Through the proprietary quantum cloud, customers have access to a unique technology platform which provides a toolset to solve real-world challenges in the realms of machine learning, optimization and simulation, today. In 2022, the company closed its Series A financing round with a $75m fundraise.
Quantum physics has, in some respects, parallels to the machine language of our computers-the zeros and ones into which our keyboard or touchscreen instructions are translated for execution in the computer-only on a larger scale: it is the machine language of the universe. The second quantum revolution is based on the control of individual quantum systems, such as individual atoms. We use quantum computers to solve currently unsolvable problems, simulate molecules and their interactions, find drugs for diseases that are not yet curable, find new materials, or make artificial intelligence stronger. Quantum is now.
Terra Quantum is a future-focused quantum services and technology company working on making the second quantum revolution a reality. Terra Quantum’s activities span all areas, markets, and industries globally.
- Our purpose is to pioneer quantum technologies to change the world for good,
- Our vision is to lead the quantum revolution and be the trailblazer in technology solutions, shaping a better future for humankind to thrive in, and
- Our mission is to unleash the power of quantum tech to deliver meaningful solutions today
Terra Quantum is an equal opportunities employer, committed to diversity, inclusion and employee well-being.
