Description

At Classiq Technologies, we’re shaping the future of quantum computing.

Our mission is to make quantum computing practical and impactful by bridging the gap between hardware and real-world applications. Our platform enables developers and enterprises to design, optimize, and deploy quantum algorithms at scale, automating complex processes and supporting teams from beginners to experts across diverse architectures.

Classiq is trusted by Fortune 500 leaders and global governments. We accelerate the quantum era with a platform that transforms bold quantum ideas into working applications.

As a Senior Technical Product Manager at Classiq, you will play a key role in shaping the future of quantum software development. You'll work closely with our R&D, Algorithms, and Applications teams to define and drive the evolution of our quantum programming platform, spanning its language design, compiler stack, and developer tooling. This role bridges cutting-edge research with real-world usability and will have a direct impact on how developers program quantum computers.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the definition of new language constructs, abstractions, and control mechanisms tailored to quantum software development.
  • Translate high-level product requirements into actionable specifications for the compiler, language, and development environment.
  • Collaborate with compiler engineers and product teams to align language and runtime capabilities with user needs.
  • Design and validate solutions that ensure the platform's robustness, scalability, and usability.
  • Serve as a technical liaison across teams, promoting shared understanding of quantum programming paradigms.
  • Author documentation, guides, and tutorials, and present training content to internal stakeholders and external developers.
  • Stay current with research and trends in quantum programming models, contributing insights to product direction.
