Anduril Industries
Quantum Software Engineer
About this role
Anduril Labs seeks a Quantum Software Engineer to design and deploy quantum-enhanced solutions for defense and national security applications. You'll develop hybrid quantum algorithms, integrate quantum computing across defense systems, and work with cutting-edge quantum platforms alongside a multidisciplinary team of technologists and engineers.
What you'll do
- Design, develop, and deploy quantum-enhanced applications and services for defense and national security
- Develop hybrid quantum algorithms focused on practical scalability and real-world applicability
- Evaluate and communicate classical and quantum optimization algorithms, trade-offs, and performance characteristics
- Participate in full quantum software development lifecycle from concept through deployment and maintenance
- Collaborate with delivery leads, application developers, and solutions architects on quantum solutions
- Integrate quantum-enhanced solutions into existing and new defense systems
What they're looking for
- Quantum programming (Qiskit, CUDA-Q, Q#, Cirq, or PennyLane)
- C, C++, Python, or compiled general-purpose programming languages
- Linear algebra, matrix decompositions, probability theory, and computational complexity
- Database systems and SQL (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL)
- Git version control, build tools, and CI/CD pipelines
- Software testing (unit, integration, end-to-end)
- GenAI tools for code generation and debugging
- Classical optimization algorithms and solvers

Likely interview questions
- Describe a quantum computing project you've worked on. What quantum programming language or SDK did you use, and what challenges did you encounter in translating the problem into a quantum algorithm?
- How do you approach designing hybrid quantum-classical algorithms? Can you walk us through an example where you determined when to use quantum vs. classical components?
