About the role
The Workflow team leverages software, AI and automation to improve the efficiency of the R&D processes of Alice & Bob. As a Senior Applied AI Engineer in this team, you will design, deliver, and maintain high-quality, scalable and robust AI-based solutions to solve complex problems encountered by R&D teams and improve their efficiency. You'll act as an individual contributor and technical leader to key projects dealing with both simulation and real-life execution of quantum experiments. You'll work with elite researchers and engineers across Alice & Bob. You don't need to be a physics expert to succeed in this position. If you're curious, motivated, and a fast learner, we'll teach you everything you need to communicate efficiently with our scientists, and make a positive impact through your work.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including at least 2 years focused on AI/ML systems in production environments (LLMs, agentic pipelines, RAG, or similar).
- Strong software engineering skills, with a track record of shipping reliable, maintainable code in a team setting (code reviews, CI/CD, testing, observability).
- Hands-on experience evaluating, fine-tuning, and deploying LLMs (prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, and model selection).
- Familiarity with LLMOps practices: model versioning, evaluation pipelines, monitoring/tracing in production.
- Ability to communicate and work efficiently with colleagues from various backgrounds (researchers, engineers, product managers), and to translate their needs into actionable technical items.
- Professional-level English proficiency, both written and spoken.
- Nice to have :
- Experience working in a scientific or R&D-heavy organization.
- Experience with agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangChain).
- Exposure to workflow automation tools or data pipelines (e.g., Airflow, Prefect).
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code and a cloud platform (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
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 250+ brilliant minds from over 35 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!
