Senior Software Engineer

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 are at the forefront of the quantum race, competing with tech giants such as Google and IBM, and we are growing rapidly after securing €100 million of funding in 2025 to develop our unique technology. Currently 100+ team members, including physicists, PhD students, engineers, and experienced business professionals, are united in our ambitious goal. Are you a quantum pioneer? Join us on a mission to reshape the future! The Framework team is a central resource, working across the organization with researchers and technicians, and is integrated into our workflows. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality software solutions.
