Senior Quantum Experimentalist - Calibration team bei Alice-bob

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, and we are growing fast after securing  €100 million of funding in 2025 to develop our unique technology.

Currently 100+ and counting, between physicists, PhD students, engineers and experienced business professionals, we are united to reach our ambitious goal. Are you a quantum pioneer? Join us on a mission to reshape the future!

The Calibration team responsibility is to automatize the calibrations of our main cat-qubit Quantum Processing Unit (QPU), to extract its maximum of performance and to maintain the QPU in working conditions. As a Senior Quantum Experimentalist, you will play an important role in optimizing and shaping the calibrations of the QPU. Your role will be to automatize the chip calibrations, to characterize and optimize the gates performance, and to maintain the QPU calibrations up to date. You will have the opportunity to work together with other top-level teams internally and represent scientific research of the company externally. By pushing the understanding and quality of large cat-based processor calibrations, your work will directly contribute to the technological roadmap of the company.

Research shows that women might feel hesitant to apply for this job if they don't match 100% of the job requirements listed. This list is a guide, and we'd love to receive your application even if you think you're only a partial match. We are looking to build teams that innovate, not just tick boxes on a job spec.

You will join of one of the most innovative startups in France at an early stage, to be part of a passionate and friendly team on its mission to build the first universal quantum computer!

We love to share and learn from one another, so you will be certain to innovate, develop new ideas, and have the space to grow.
