About Xanadu:
Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere.At Xanadu, we are learners, innovators, researchers, collaborators and problem solvers. We are creating something that has never been built before. Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this, where if we are successful, the technologies we develop will solve some of the world’s most challenging problems, and literally change the world. And that is something to be excited about!Your Role and Responsibilities:As an AI Developer at Xanadu, you will play a crucial role in integrating generative AI into our R&D methodologies. This unique position allows you to contribute to the development of our internal tool stacks, aimed at advancing the first commercially viable quantum computer. The AI team’s focus is to build and improve the modeling, optimization, simulation, data processing, and design methodology of our internal research. Situated at the intersection of multiple technical disciplines, you will have the opportunity to work with world leading researchers, scientists, engineers, and software developers. By infusing cutting-edge AI into software tools, you have the chance to super-charge their research progress and even reshape how they work. You will:
  • Design, develop, and maintain our agentic AI research system for accelerating internal R&D.
  • Build automated processes and pipelines for structuring unstructured documents and executing complex research tasks at scale.
  • Collaborate closely with researchers – theorists, experimentalists, engineers – to craft creative solutions for complex challenges.
