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! About the role Our US team is growing fast, working alongside national labs, HPC centers, and government agencies to bring quantum computing into the real world — and we're looking for our first dedicated Office Manager to build the operational backbone of our US presence. This is a role with real ownership from day one: you'll take the lead on HR, finance, and admin operations for our US employees, giving them a fast, reliable, local point of contact while working closely with our France-based teams.
