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 140+ brilliant minds from over 20 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!
In a context of deployment and industrial operation of an early-stage fault-tolerant quantum computer at a strategic client site, the Technical Account Manager – Quantum Computing is the guarantor of operational excellence, system reliability, and service continuity.
Reporting to the VP of Business, you will work closely with engineering, R&D, product, and tech operations teams to ensure day-to-day performance of the quantum system, smooth client operations, and continuous improvement of service delivery.
Responsibilities:
