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 140+ brilliant minds from over 20 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!
In a context of deployment and industrial operation of an early-stage fault-tolerant quantum computer at a strategic client site, the Technical Account Manager – Quantum Computing is the guarantor of operational excellence, system reliability, and service continuity.
Reporting to the VP of Business, you will work closely with engineering, R&D, product, and tech operations teams to ensure day-to-day performance of the quantum system, smooth client operations, and continuous improvement of service delivery.
Responsibilities:
1- Ensure on-site operational excellence of the quantum systemMonitor system health, performance, and availability using internal tools and dashboardsAnticipate risks and proactively prevent incidentsPerform first-level diagnosis and troubleshooting on complex HW/SW systems2 - Manage incidents, tickets, and service continuityOwn the incident lifecycle from detection to resolutionEnsure SLA compliance and contractual commitmentsProduce incident analyses, root cause summaries, and corrective action plans3 - Act as the technical interface with the clientRepresent Alice & Bob within the client’s operational governance structuresParticipate in operational committees, reviews, and performance reportingBuild trusted relationships with client stakeholders and scientific users4 - Coordinate internal technical stakeholdersEscalate complex issues to expert teams (R&D, Engineering, Tech Ops)Provide structured field feedback to improve products and operationsContribute to operational documentation and knowledge base5 - Support continuous improvement & operational readinessParticipate in operational readiness reviews and auditsContribute to service delivery process improvementsSupport alignment between operational reliability and scientific usag
