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 Mission
Alice & Bob's current 48-qubit generation was hand-drawn — the next generations won't be. As we scale toward 1,000-, 10,000-, and eventually million-qubit chips, manual layout stops being an option: it doesn't scale, and it caps how fast we can iterate. This role exists to build the infrastructure — PDK, generators, automated flows — that lets chip complexity grow 10–1,000× while design cycle time stays flat.
About the Role
You'll build the layout infrastructure that makes that scaling possible — PDK, layout compilers, parasitic extraction, hierarchical verification, and mask generation. This is a semiconductor physical-design role applied to superconducting hardware, not a quantum physics one.
