Product Manager, Performance Management and Application Enablement

At Q-CTRL, the Product team is at the forefront of shaping the future of quantum technology, pioneering the product vision, strategy, and roadmap. We steward the product portfolio that transforms groundbreaking research into software solutions that drive real-world impact. The product team collaborates with brilliant minds across research, engineering, design, marketing, and sales, bringing disciplines together to achieve breakthroughs that make quantum technologies useful for our customers today.

This role thrives on exceptional ownership, adaptability, systems thinking, a figure-it-out mindset, a bias-to-action approach, and confident, decisive leadership—because there’s no playbook for what we’re building. If you’re excited about charting new territory and shaping a once-in-a-generation technology, we’d love to invite you to consider coming along for the journey.

Reporting to the Quantum Computing Product Lead, this role will own and launch new solvers that unlock applications and integrations, expanding Q-CTRL’s product portfolio. The role spans new product development across quantum hardware virtualization and abstraction, HPC and on-prem deployments, QEC architectures and primitives, new quantum functions, and innovative go-to-market models. You will also help guide the evolution and technical leadership of Fire Opal, partnering closely with teams across research, engineering, design, sales, and marketing.

The base salary for this position is targeted between $165K - $210K and will ultimately be determined by specific job-related skills, experience, level, location and other contributing factors. Depending on the position offered, this role may be eligible for annual discretionary bonuses, equity and other forms of compensation outside of the targeted range.
