Quantum Computing Security Researcher

About the Role

As a Quantum Computing Security Researcher, you bring deep expertise in mathematical methods for quantum computing, software development in Python, backed by a minimum MSc in Physics with a quantum physics focus. You have hands-on experience developing software for quantum systems, or quantum technologies within embedded systems. You excel at modeling quantum threats — side-channel attacks, adversarial pertubations, backdoors, … — and translating into practical security defenses.
You will be one of Haste's first quantum security researchers pioneering defenses for quantum compute environments alongside HPC and AI workloads.

Key Responsibilities

• Investigate side channels, adversarial perturbations, backdoors and quantum system vulnerabilities.
• Develop Python research software and proof-of-concept implementations.
• Translate findings into defenses and production-grade requirements.
• Document research through reports, whitepapers and demonstrations.
• Monitor quantum security research, standards and frameworks.

Requirements

• Minimum MSc in Physics focused on quantum physics.
• Current residence in Germany or Austria.
• Full-time availability from December 1, 2026, remote from Germany or Austria only.
• Quantum computing mathematics, Python development, quantum threat modeling and security engineering capabilities.
