Job Description

Are you excited by the disruptive potential of quantum technology? Do you want to help businesses understand the challenges and opportunities of quantum computing (QC) and develop new practical use cases?

The quantum computing specialist team based in Seattle, WA is looking to hire a Quantum Solutions Architect with knowledge of quantum computing and cloud computing fundamentals. Quantum Computing is a technology that holds promise to be transformational in many industries. To help our customers on this journey we are looking for a candidate who will work with academic, enterprise and startup customers to architect advanced solutions leveraging AWS Quantum Computing services, collaborate with service and business stakeholders, and grow the AWS quantum computing ecosystem.

The ideal candidate will possess a deeply technical background and a strong drive to solve practical problems using quantum computers in the cloud. The candidate will have the technical depth and business experience to easily communicate the potential and challenges of Quantum Computing, multiple hardware platforms and frameworks in the AWS cloud to scientists, managers, and engineering teams. The candidate will also collaborate with customers and internal research teams to deliver innovative solutions. This requires familiarity with state-of-the-art approaches to quantum computing, its target use cases, and knowledge of high-performance computing, parallel computing and cloud computing fundamentals.

This is an opportunity to be at the forefront of science and technological transformations.

Key job responsibilities

• Architect advanced solutions leveraging AWS Quantum Computing services, working closely with our customers to deeply understand their business needs and to design technical solutions that take advantage of the AWS Cloud platform and Quantum Computing services;
• Demonstrate the viability of each solution through mechanisms like proof-of-concepts or prototypes;
• Develop compelling audience-specific messages and tools (presentations, product videos, customer success stories, advanced demos, white papers, how to guides, etc.)
• Evangelize AWS Quantum Computing services and technologies through forums such as AWS Blogs, magazine articles, and public-speaking events at workshops and conferences;
• Collaborate with AWS field sales, professional services, training and support teams to help partners and customers learn and effectively use AWS Quantum Computing services;
• Collaborate with internal teams to define the product road map, market positioning and developer program initiatives.
