What are the responsibilities and job description for the Quantum Technical Business Development Internship- US position at 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 200 brilliant minds from over 30 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!
We are looking for a driven and proactive Quantum Computing Product Marketing Intern to join our US team. In this role, you will work closely with the business development lead and cross-functional stakeholders, supporting both operational and strategic initiatives across the organization. You will also analyze competitive quantum computing products and roadmaps to identify clear, robust technical differentiators for Alice & Bob.
This internship is ideal for someone eager to understand how go-to-market and partnership strategies are built within a fast-scaling deep-tech environment. You are naturally curious about technology, motivated to learn quickly, and ready to take ownership while contributing to high-impact projects.
This is an exceptional opportunity for students to engage with the dynamic convergence of cutting-edge quantum technologies and strategic business innovation!
The internship will start in September 2026.
Responsibilities:
Requirements:
Currently enrolled in a Master’s or PhD program in a scientific discipline (such as physics, computer science, mathematics, or a related field).
Hard Skills
You will join of one of the most innovative startups in France at an early stage, to be part of a passionate and friendly team on its mission to build the first universal quantum computer!
We love to share and learn from one another, so you will be certain to innovate, develop new ideas, and have the space to grow.
