Job Description
Your mission
The future of AI computing builds on light. Q.ANT is building photonic processing systems that compute with light - delivering a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to transistor-based architectures for next-generation AI and HPC applications.
As Lead Software Engineer - Photonic Applications (f/m/d), you'll bridge cutting-edge photonic hardware and real-world applications. Your work creates the evidence that photonic computing works: compelling demos, developer enablement, and direct partner collaboration that turn hardware capabilities into tangible success stories.
You'll work across the full stack – from performance-optimized algorithms to developer-facing documentation – helping partners, clients, and investors understand why computing with light is the future.
What You Will Do
- Figure out how algorithms make a difference with photonics
- Optimize algorithms
