Chief of Staff - Platform

Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems.\n\n

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!\n\n

We're a diverse team of 200+ brilliant minds from over 30 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!\n\n

About the Platform Department

The Platform department builds the software and computational infrastructure that powers Alice & Bob’s quantum computers. Our scope spans scientific software, cloud/GPU compute, simulation tools, and the orchestration systems required to design, calibrate, and operate our hardware.

The Mission

As Platform Chief of Staff , your core mission is execution leadership: turning ambitious technical priorities into shipped systems. Working directly with the Head of Platform and team leads, you will drive execution across software, infrastructure, and physics. You will also eliminate ambiguity, align teams around clear milestones, unblock decisions, and scale our operating model.

A primary focus will be leading initiatives for our next-generation software layer, including orchestration, automated calibration workflows, and increasingly agentic modes of quantum computer operation.

Who You Are

This role is built for a senior, software-oriented technical leader (e.g., former CTO, tech founder, or senior engineering leader) who brings:
