Quantum Algorithms Developer

Alice&Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems.

The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit. In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously!

We are at the forefront of the quantum race, competing with tech giants such as Google or IBM. We are growing fast, securing 30 million USD of funding in 2022 to develop our unique technology.

We are 65 and counting, between physicists, PhDs, engineers and experienced business professionals, all united in reaching our ambitious goal. If you are an explorer, craving to challenge yourself and make quantum computing come true, come and join us!

Role

As a Quantum Algorithms Developer working in the Theory team, your mission will be to work with Alice&Bob’s clients and strategic partners to develop quantum algorithms tailored to their problems, and to optimize their fault-tolerant implementations on Alice&Bob architecture in collaboration with the quantum error correction team.
