About the role
The Platform department builds the software and computational infrastructure that powers Alice & Bob's quantum computers. Our scope spans scientific software, cloud/GPU compute, simulation tools, and the orchestration systems required to design, calibrate, and operate our hardware. The Performance Optimization team applies machine learning and optimization tools across the entire quantum chip lifecycle, from design to error correction. As Team Lead, you will challenge traditional methods to deliver scalable, production-ready calibration and control software. Your Mission: Build and lead an interdisciplinary team of engineers, theorists, and ML experts to identify bottlenecks in our quantum control stack. You will prototype novel solutions, transform them into fast, reliable production software, and integrate them directly into the critical path of our fault-tolerant operations.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in managing a research or engineering team delivering tools in a R&D environment
- Proven track record of leading a team that delivers on complex projects on time
- Strong organizational and time management skills
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills in English
- Master's degree in Machine Learning, Optimization, Quantum Computing or related fields (Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Theoretical Physics)
Benefits
Additional Information
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're a diverse team of 200+ brilliant minds from over 31 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together!
