Job application by Ciro Santilli

I'm looking to do a meaningful job in a deeptech field, and quantum computing seems like it could become huge. I've learnt a few basics, and would like to go further with job experience in the area.

I can handle Linux low level stuff, C, C++, Python, PostgresQL and some React. Rust I haven't touched but it's on my TODO list!

I applied for this job careers.pasqal.com/jobs/5817098-software-development-engineer-integration but got rejected by HR lady without interview.

Pinging you guys here just in case because sometimes my profiles scare the HR people and then when I ping the programmers they like me. I grabbed your emails from GitHub.

If you're having a hard time finding someone for this job, do let me know, my profile seemed like a good fit and I would like to get into quantum.

Hope this doesn't come off as too cocky, maybe you are swamped with good applicants, but I had to try.

Why are you a good match for this role?

I like and know low level programming. I like and don't know (much) physics and I want to learn more. I like finding creative solutions to problems. I'm seriously interested in getting some experience in quantum computing as it could be really promising.

Why Pasqal?

I want to get into quantum computing in France, and there are only 5 major hardware companies and I'm applying to each of them when there's a job that seems that I can do. I don't know enough to pick the one with the tech that is most promising to win, though it seems no one can at this point. Being in Massy, a little further from central Paris, is a plus, I like quieter areas.

J'ai une forte envie de faire ce job. Le quantum computing a l'air trop cool, l'impact pourrait être énorme, et les techs de base (high performance computing) du job m'amusent aussi. Mes études basiques jusqu'à présent : cirosantilli.com/quantum-computing. Ma femme est employée par une entreprise française et je cherche à déménager dans la région parisienne.

As evidenced by my Stack Exchange contributions, I love trying out new software to see if it works and how well. I love benchmarking it. And I love documenting what I observed in great detail to help others to choose the best software for them. I also love meeting various new people and understanding what they are up to and how I can help.

I hate inefficient workflows, and have been know in previous jobs to step up to fix them out of my own initiative.

I am looking for an impactful and meaningful job, and being in a company that is one of the top contenders to achieve AGI, the most important development every by humankind, fits the bill.
