Quantum Computing Infrastructure Supporter with development tasks

At DeiC you will play a pivotal role in providing comprehensive support to researchers, industry, and public administration across Denmark, enabling them to harness the power of quantum computing for their projects. Working closely with a multidisciplinary team, you work to ensure access to state-of-the-art QC resources and receive the technical guidance and assistance necessary to maximize the impact of their work.

The job

Quantum technology is rapidly developing. You will therefore join the QC department within DeiC in a development phase, working on a diverse set of tasks – matched to your skill set and interests – related to fully harness QC systems. This is especially relevant for researchers working on quantum research projects. Examples of typical tasks include:

• Developing software and overview that makes advanced research infrastructure like QC systems more accessible to researchers who are expects in their research field but not necessarily QC super users. This also include developing overview as how to get practical access.
• Collaborating with researchers and other actors to understand their computational needs and provide expert advice on leveraging QC systems effectively to reach their research goals.
• Assisting researchers in porting, optimizing, and parallelizing their applications for QC environments, offering guidance on software development, debugging, and profiling as needed.
• Creating and maintaining documentation, tutorials, and knowledge base articles to facilitate self-service access to QC systems and promote knowledge sharing within the research communities.
• Collaborating with researchers and other actors on interdisciplinary projects, providing technical expertise and support to enable the seamless integration of QC systems with other research infrastructure. Especially concerning the integration with (HPC) and data repositories.
• Taking part in national and international projects with the overall goal of enabling researchers to do more and better research using QC.
• Coordinate and develop the QC setup in DeiC with collaboration of the stakeholders in Denmark.

The QC department has a close collaboration with the HPC and Data Management Departments within DeiC ensuring consistency in our solutions for processing research data according to best practices on HPC and quantum computers.

Our expectations of you

We expect a minimum of a master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Computational Science, electrical engineering, computational physics, computational chemistry, applied mathematics, or a related field.

We greatly appreciate people that: 

• Can make practical project plans and strategy for the above-mentioned tasks and be the driving factor of implementing it.
• Can provide technical support and consultancy services to researchers in an academic or research environment as well as industry and public administration.
• Have strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues related to HPC and QC systems and applications.
• Have good communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts effectively to diverse audiences and foster collaborative relationships with researchers.
• Can collaborate with an open mind with colleagues from all over Europe and make sure that DeiCs values and goals are at the forefront of what you do.
• Can communicate professionally in English. Being able to speak Danish is not a must, but you must be willing to learn Danish to integrate fully into DeiC.
• Can navigate in the shifting needs and different assignment, both the trivial and exiting, that will arrive in this changing technological field.

Besides that, we are looking for people that have experience or knowledge with one or more of the following topics:

• Proficiency in parallel programming languages (e.g., MPI, OpenMP, CUDA, HIP) and familiarity with HPC software ecosystems and libraries and long with QC software stacks and programming models.
• Programming in C, C++, Fortran, Python, or other programming languages used in QC.
• Experience with cloud computing platforms (Azure/AWS/Google) and containerization technologies (Docker/Kubernetes/Singularity/Apptainer) and integration with these platforms.
• Experience with and research data management practices in computational experiments.
• Experience with source code version control (Git/GitHub), automated testing (CI/CD), and DevOps practices.
• System development in relation to help building research e-infrastructure systems or other systems to enable users to take advantage of QC systems.

What we offer in return

• An opportunity to make a meaningful impact by supporting groundbreaking research across various disciplines.
• A collaborative and intellectually stimulating environment in rapid development, where your expertise in QC and research support is valued and where you get to be part of the daily decision making.
• A chance to become part of a diverse team dedicated to advancing e-infrastructure services and leveraging technology for the public good.
• An organisation that prioritizes a good work-life balance and offer flexible working hours along with the option for remote work (2 days per week)
• Excellent opportunities for further developing your professional skills via courses, hackathons, self-study, and knowledge sharing with colleagues.

Salary and appointment terms

The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC) or in accordance with the CO10/LC Joint Agreement and the organization agreement for IT employees (Prosa) in the service of the state.

The workplace will be either at the DTU office at the DTU Campus in Lyngby or at the Aarhus office at the Aarhus University Campus.

If you are not currently living in Denmark, relocation to Denmark will be needed. For people outside the European Union please make sure to state in your application what country you will relocate from as different rules apply.

Application and contact

Please submit your online application no later than 4 January 2026 (23:59 Danish time). Open the “Apply now” link, fill out the form and attach your motivated application, CV and exam certificates. 

Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.

All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, disability, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply. As DTU works with research in critical technology, which is subject to special rules for security and export control, open-source background checks may be conducted on qualified candidates for the position.
