We are exclusively partnered with a fast‑growing deep‑tech company operating in the quantum computing ecosystem to hire their first commercial leader in Europe. The organisation is building a neutral, community‑driven platform for developers, researchers, and enterprises, enabling users to build, share, and run quantum solutions across multiple hardware providers through a Python‑based notebook workspace, alongside a marketplace for algorithms, datasets, and reference implementations.
