Senior ML Engineer

Alice & Bob

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 The Performance Optimization team is at the heart of our mission: using Machine Learning to dramatically improve the quality, speed, and reliability of the quantum chip lifecycle. As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will own the architectural blueprint and technical direction of key components in our ML stack. This is a high-autonomy role where you’ll set the standards for how we build, scale, and deploy.
