Want to innovate on behalf of our customers to build quantum computing tools for the cloud? Thrilled to be key part of Amazon, who has been investing in disruptive innovation for decades, pioneering and shaping the world’s technology? Amazon Braket is looking for Applied Scientists in quantum computing to join an exceptional team of researchers and engineers. Quantum computing is rapidly emerging from the realms of science-fiction, and our customers can the see the potential it has to address their challenges. One of our missions at AWS is to give customers access to the most innovative technology available and help them continuously reinvent their business. Quantum computing is a technology that holds promise to be transformational in many industries, and with Amazon Braket we are adding quantum computing resources to the toolkits of every researcher and developer. As the technical lead for fault-tolerant quantum compilation, you'll own the full stack that transforms high-level quantum programs into optimized instructions that run on real hardware. You will play a key role in shaping the development roadmap of the service, and evangelizing new features and capabilities. Most importantly, you will work closely with our quantum computing research teams, as well as industry and academic partners. Our team collaborates across the entire AWS organization to get drive innovation and deliver the right solutions to our customers. A successful candidate will be a person who enjoys diving deep into customer problems, conducting independent research and development, working across teams with academic and industry experts, shaping the long-term QC strategy for AWS, and deliver the tools and systems that make useful quantum computing a reality for our customers. It will be a person who likes to have fun, loves to learn, and wants to innovate in the world of QC. ### Key job responsibilities - Own the technical vision and roadmap for the quantum compilation toolchain - Lead and grow a team of applied scientists and software engineers; set the bar for scientific rigor and engineering quality - Design compilation passes that minimize resource overhead for fault-tolerant quantum architectures - Collaborate with hardware, algorithms, and applications teams to co-design the compiler around real device constraints and customer workloads - Publish research and open-source contributions that advance the state of the art and attract world-class talent ### About the team Amazon Braket is the quantum computing service by AWS. We give researchers, developer, and enterprises access to quantum hardware and the tools to build on it. Our goal is to make quantum computing a core part of the AWS accelerated compute portfolio. The compilation team sits at the center of Braket's technical stack — bridging the gap between what customers write and what future fault-tolerant hardware executes. You'll work alongside hardware teams, scientists designing error correction protocols, and engineers building the service that bring these capabilities to our customers. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Jun 16, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Nov 8, 2026 - Last checked: Nov 8, 2026 - Listed for: 145 days - Location: US, NY, New York[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10450193/principal-applied-scientist-amazon-braket) ## Hiring at Amazon - Open jobs: 21,930 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Jul 10, 2026 [All Amazon jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Principal Applied Scientist, FAIM (Full Funnel Agentic Intelligence and Models)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/517565486d7473f36e06/) US, NY, New York ### [Principal Audio Scientist, Fauna](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/7f5be5cb61820c5e29d6/) US, NY, New York ### [Principal Business Development Demand, Amazon Publisher Services Deals & Curation](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/06fd0e606ba59f2d47af/) US, NY, New York ### [Principal Business Development Lead, Amazon Shipping](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/964abddcbb043b8ed1f4/) US, NY, New York ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Sr Applied Data Scientist - Search and Browse (applied ML, LLMs, ML Ops)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/target/jobs/0923ac6213001fd36d99/) Target · Canada ### [Sr Applied Data Scientist - 1:1 Personalization, Audience and Experimentation (applied ML, PyToch, A/B testing)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/target/jobs/edc06d0a1943ad5a5ba0/) Target · Mongolia ### [Senior Applied Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/oracle/jobs/f8ed9ff14b05042cc65f/) Oracle · United States ### [Applied Researcher 1](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ebay/jobs/446f6c4cf76f183fbba3/) eBay · San Jose, California ### [Applied Scientist II](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/1932503c468419f688ab/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond [Jobs in New York, NY](/locations/us/ny/new-york/)[Jobs in New York](/locations/us-ny/)[Research & Science jobs](/functions/research-science/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
