Job Description
Join Nexus Dynamics at the forefront of technological evolution as we pioneer quantum-resistant infrastructure for 2026. We're seeking a visionary Quantum Infrastructure Architect to design next-generation systems that will redefine security and computational capabilities. This role offers unparalleled opportunity to shape the digital landscape of tomorrow while working with cutting-edge quantum cryptography and distributed ledger technologies.
You'll collaborate with Nobel laureates and industry disruptors in our Austin-based quantum lab, contributing to projects that will secure critical infrastructure for Fortune 500 companies. The ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of theoretical physics and practical implementation, with a passion for solving problems that haven't been solved yet.
Responsibilities
- Design quantum-resistant cryptographic systems for enterprise-scale deployments
- Architect distributed quantum computing networks with sub-millisecond latency
- Develop hybrid classical-quantum algorithms for optimization problems
- Lead security audits of quantum communication protocols
- Create migration strategies for legacy systems to quantum-secure infrastructure
- Mentor cross-functional teams in quantum technology adoption
- Research emerging quantum threats and defensive countermeasures
Qualifications
- PhD in Quantum Computing, Cryptography, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 5+ years designing complex distributed systems with security-first architecture
- Expertise in quantum error correction protocols and fault-tolerant computing
- Published research in quantum cryptography or topological quantum computing
- Certification in quantum security (e.g., IBM Qiskit Certification)
- Proficiency in quantum programming languages (Q#, Qiskit, Cirq)
- Experience with blockchain integration for quantum-resistant ledgers
- Deep understanding of NIST quantum-resistant cryptography standards
