title: Member of Technical Staff - Quantum Benchmarking Lead, Full Time, Remote
---
Posted on September 11th, 2024.

Full-time role.

Unitary Fund is a non-profit research group helping build a quantum technology industry that benefits the most people. We support the community, e.g., running a grant program to support the development of new open source quantum software, and we do our own research and technology development for the ecosystem.
Through this project you’ll be at the center of the emerging field of quantum technology and working to develop new and critical components to accelerate it.

## Role Details - Member of the Technical Staff, Quantum Benchmarking Lead
We’re hiring a Member of Technical Staff to lead Unitary Fund software research projects focused on quantum technology benchmarking. You will lead a team developing software and performing research as part of sponsored research projects led by Unitary Fund, in collaboration with key players from the industry and research sector.
You and your team will develop and extend a new software toolkit to benchmark quantum computers as well as develop and extend our Metriq (https://metriq.info/) platform for openly hosting and sharing quantum tech benchmarks. You will perform research and software development related to quantum tech benchmarking, including running on different hardware backends.
This role encompasses work across technical and product-oriented aspects of the project and will require a highly creative and strongly organized individual to surface priorities, triage needs, communicate continuously, and know when to ask for help. This position will work closely with Unitary Fund leadership and have opportunities to develop their own leadership as well.
You should be excited to take ownership of our benchmarking R&D thrust.

## RESPONSIBILITIES
### Product Ownership
You will manage the development of Unitary Fund quantum benchmarking efforts, revolving around our Metriq (https://metriq.info/) project and its evolution. You will need to independently manage tasks and coordinate with leaders to identify priorities, troubleshoot issues, develop a strategy for the product growth and project management, work closely with the technical staff working on the technical aspects.

### Feature Development
Work with the technical team to design and develop features in the benchmarking product. We must build benchmarking tools that people really want and use. You will be responsible for this.

### Community Growth
Support the product and related projects, growing the community of users and contributors.

## SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS
- We will expect you have 2+ years of paid or voluntary experience relevant to:
- Software engineering work experience (not necessarily quantum related) OR 2+ years of research experience in quantum information such as in a PhD program
- Track record of building and launching software that other people use with small teams
- Excited to make quantum technologies better, easier, and more accessible

## Bonuses:
- Experience in quantum computing, other advanced technology communities, and/or open source software development
- Passion for quantum technology
- Being an active member of the Unitary Fund community
- Web development experience (frontend: Node.js. backend: Python, Postgres, SQL)
- Experience with cloud collaboration services and open-source community tools such as Airtable, Github, Discord, MailChimp

## WORK HOURS & BENEFITS
**Flexible Hours** - We are happy to accommodate complex schedules or limitations, and care more about the work getting done than the times you’re sitting at your computer.

**Alignment** - Being a small team, we will be seeking a collaborator who aligns with our culture, we would love for it to be a delight to work together.
