Product Designer
AliceBob, France
Job Description
Aliceamp;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 are at the forefront of the quantum race, competing with tech giants such as Google or IBM. We are growing fast, securing 30 million USD of funding in 2022 to develop our unique technology.
We are 80 and counting, between physicists, PhDs, engineers and experienced business professionals, all united in reaching our ambitious goal. If you are an explorer, craving to challenge yourself and make quantum computing come true, come and join us!
As a member of the product team, you will support a broad range of Aliceamp;Bob activities, as part of a small but talented team of 3 PMs, and interacting with a team of software developers.
50% of your time will be spent on internal tooling. Aliceamp;Bob operates a suite of tools to manage our experiments, gather data and track our roadmap. This tool suite currently has simulation tools, and data management tools. It is about to be enriched with a collaboration tool (think an experimental asset manager)
25% of your time will be dedicated to our external facing assets. Namely the UI and UX of the cloud access to our hardware and its supporting material.
Finally we would like you to help us add a graphical unity to our scientific communication. In the same ways that modern application have design systems, we are looking to implement a design system for Aliceamp;Bob scientific papers and other publications based on existing brand guides
For all those projects, a high quality bar will be set. While the number of users will be small in all cases, the company believes a strong part of its image is associated with that position. Similar to what happens on the luxury market, we believe this position is not about volume but exquisite attention to details.
