Senior Staff Software Engineer

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

As a Senior Staff Engineer, you will own the architecture and evolution of the software infrastructure that enables our quantum processors to operate reliably, scalably, and autonomously. You will design the foundations for error-correction frameworks and quantum compilation stack, data flows, storage systems, orchestration layers, and automation pipelines that turn a raw quantum chip into a usable, production-grade QPU product deployable in HPC, on-prem structures, and cloud environments.

This role is at the intersection of deep system design, data engineering, and quantum control infrastructure. You will work closely with low-level hardware/software teams, quantum theorists, data engineers, and operations teams to shape the architecture that supports the next generation of scalable, error-corrected quantum computing.
