- Experience managing a research group
- Demonstrated research ability in quantum-inspired algorithms or related fields
- Experience in scientific technical writing
- Proficiency in Python or C/C++
- Experience developing performant codes
- Strong communication skills and the ability to present findings to a non-technical audience
- Experience in one or more following domains:
- Quantum-inspired algorithms (e.g., dequantized algorithms, tensor networks, novel techniques for Ising solvers)
- Randomized algorithms (e.g., streaming algorithms, data sketching techniques)
- Architectural design for efficient implementation (e.g., developing memory efficient sampling techniques, end-to-end implementation of quantum-inspired and randomized algorithms)
- GPU programming (e.g., CUDA, SYCL)
Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills
- Preference is given to candidates with strong publication record (example venues include but are not limited to ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, ISCA, HPCA, STOC, FOCS)
- No prior familiarity with finance or financial use cases is required
- Preference given to candidates who includes a link to their Google Scholar or Semantic Scholar profile in their resume.
