Alice & Bob is hiring: Quantum Hardware & Physics Specialist in Boston

Overview Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems. The quantum computer we envision is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit. Cat qubits can implement quantum error correction autonomously. We are at the forefront of the quantum race and growing fast after securing €100 million of funding in 2025. We are a diverse team of physicists, PhD students, engineers and experienced professionals, united to reach our ambitious goal. Are you a quantum pioneer? Join us on a mission to reshape the future! About the Role: Alice & Bob is transitioning from a cutting-edge research lab to a product-focused quantum computing company. As part of this transformation, we’re creating Quantum HPC , a new team bridging technical expertise and customer engagement. We’re looking for a Quantum Hardware & Physics Specialist to join this team. You will play a key role in technical conversations with HPC centers, our natural early adopters and help shape how our superconducting “cat qubits” are understood, integrated, and used. Responsibilities Lead technical meetings with HPC clients and partners Present our core technology: superconducting cat qubits, roadmap to FTQC, integration challenges Convey complex scientific ideas and the vision of Alice & Bob to technical and non-technical audiences in talks, hackathons, workshops, meetings Prepare high-quality technical content: briefs, diagrams, comparison tools, slides Contribute to internal work on machine development in accordance with your expertise: experiments, theory, specifications, cryogenics, RF, hardware/software stack Interact with customers as a scientific expert Help align our internal tech development with real-world constraints and needs Requirements PhD or MSc in quantum physics, superconducting circuits, or similar field, with 3 years of experience Comfortable navigating between lab-level details and real-world applications Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences. Experience with customer-facing role (US and Europe) (Bonus) Familiarity with HPC environments, cryogenics, or RF systems Curious, proactive, and eager to build something meaningful in the quantum space Fluent in professional English & French, both written and spoken Benefits Our success is your success: own it with our BSPCE plan Turn your ideas into patents – and patent bonuses Healthcare: health, vision, dental insurance 401k - Retirement plan Training budget for each employee Parental leave & parental plan PTO: 20 days + 11 federal days Unpaid time off for jury duty Research shows that women might feel hesitant to apply for this job if they don't match 100% of the job requirements listed.
