Applied Researcher/Engineer for Compiler-AI integration in Frankfurt am Main bei Quantagonia

Join Our Mission

Quantagonia, a pioneering force in Quantum Computing, is seeking a passionate engineer and/or applied researcher in the field of AI-based source code analysis and synthesis. This is a unique opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology and make a positive impact on a growing company. The successful candidate will be the driving force behind an automated system that infers semantics and structure from conventional code, bringing the future of computing to multi-million dollar legacy applications. Naturally, you will have the opportunity and time to learn on the job and grow into a central piece of our young and ambitious team.

Tasks

• Join Quantagonia's compiler team to automate semantic analysis of legacy code and intermediary representations.
• Identify certain idioms in codebases across abstraction levels and apply transformations.
• Design and train AI-driven approaches for fuzzy code classification.
• Develop patterns for AI-assisted structure learning based on code idioms.
• Help design DSLs for different abstraction levels based on your discoveries.
• Collaborate with the Quantum Engineering team to approximate code patterns beyond current quantum hardware capabilities.

Requirements

Must haves:

• 
  3+ years of academic or professional experience in source code analysis, demonstrated through software contributions or academic publications.
• Strong practical experience in applying AI/ML techniques to analyze and transform source code.
• Proficiency in source code instrumentation and pattern-based source code classification.
• Familiarity with both lower-level languages (C/C++) and higher-level/scripting languages (Python, Julia, etc.).
• Ownership mindset: actively contribute to product maintenance and deliver features as per the roadmap.
• Excellent communication skills, team-oriented, with a focus on code quality and clarity.

Advantageous:

• Experience in scaling up algorithms to handle large codebases and real-life scenarios.
• Experience with compiler technologies such as MLIR, LLVM, etc., and domain-specific languages (DSLs).
• Knowledge and/or experience with current quantum computing technologies.
• Academic or STEM background.

In addition to that, we expect a certain degree of self-reliance through, e.g. proactively taking up issues from the backlog and coordinating with the product owner to integrate your changes into the production environment.

Benefits

• Attractive compensation package, including stock options in the company
• Highly flexible working environment: Adapt to your personal needs, whether it's working hours or location (with limitations). Your happiness and productivity are paramount.
• Flat hierarchies: Embrace a direct and open approach to personal development and team roles.
• Personal development opportunities: Collaborate closely with founders, development experts, and industry professionals.
• Academic integration: Enjoy time off for certifications, courses, and engagement with the academic community.

We prefer a hybrid working model with at least some time (think, e.g. 1 day a week or at least every second week) in our office in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. If working remotely, you need to be located in an EU country.
