Job Description
We are seeking a visionary Lead AI & Quantum Readiness Architect to spearhead our strategic initiatives for the 2026 technological paradigm shift. In this role, you will bridge the gap between classical machine learning and future-proof quantum computing architectures, ensuring our infrastructure is resilient against emerging threats and ready for the next era of computation.
At Nova Systems, we don't just adapt to the future; we build it. You will work with a cross-functional team of data scientists, quantum researchers, and security experts to design scalable, hybrid systems that leverage the best of both worlds.
Why Join Us?
- Work on cutting-edge technology that defines the 2026 landscape.
- Competitive compensation and equity package.
- Flexible remote-first culture with hubs in Austin and San Francisco.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement hybrid quantum-classical architectures for enterprise-level applications.
- Develop and integrate post-quantum cryptography standards into existing security protocols.
- Lead the architectural roadmap for AI model scalability and fault tolerance.
- Collaborate with R&D teams to identify and prototype emerging quantum algorithms.
- Mentor junior engineers and architects on best practices for future-proof coding.
- Conduct risk assessments and mitigation strategies for quantum computing threats.
Qualifications
- Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical field.
- 10+ years of experience in software architecture, with at least 3 years in AI/ML.
- Deep understanding of quantum computing concepts (Qiskit, Cirq, or similar frameworks).
- Strong proficiency in Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure).
- Experience with distributed systems and high-availability design patterns.
- Excellent communication skills to translate complex technical concepts to stakeholders.
