Algorithm Engineer

At OQC, we aren’t just theorising about the future; we’re building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we’ve transitioned quantum computing from an academic ambition into a commercial reality - and we’re just getting started.

The Purpose

Build practical, reusable algorithms that help turn OQC’s quantum capabilities into useful products.

As our Algorithm Engineer, you’ll select, adapt and implement classical algorithms and scientific machine-learning methods across our product portfolio. You’ll combine hands-on development with rigorous benchmarking, helping identify where quantum and hybrid approaches can add value - and where classical methods remain the right choice.

The Role

Working within our Product team and reporting to Product and Engineering leadership, you’ll be a senior, hands-on individual contributor collaborating with quantum algorithm engineers, software engineers and technical product colleagues.

You’ll help select suitable methods, implement algorithmic components and connect them into wider applications. Alongside this, you’ll develop reusable evaluation tools and meaningful comparisons that help the team understand performance, limitations and practical value.

Your initial work will support financial-services applications, with scope to apply your expertise across other sectors as the platform develops. A financial-services background is not essential; the ability to transfer your technical
