Join us to advance your career in pursuit of an inspiring mission, in a community of like-minded people who value entrepreneurialism, ownership, and transformative impact. THE OPPORTUNITY At SandboxAQ, People infrastructure is not a back-office function. It is the platform on which we build the employee experience. We have strong foundations in place, and we are entering the next evolution of how we operate. As the company grows, we need someone who can build for today while designing for what comes next. What works at 300 people is not what works at 600, and this role is about helping us stay ahead of that curve. We are looking for a HR Operations Lead to own and evolve our People Infrastructure in North America, with select global overlap. This is a senior role that is both hands on, as well as responsible for the work and execution of more junior team members.

They will know how to create infrastructure and experiences that work for employees, managers, and the business at the same time. This person will lead across systems, workflows, policy, service delivery, and operational design.

Prior deliverables may include (but not limited to): - Technology evaluation, re-design and implementation (ex: new HRIS system) - Significant policy design and transition (ex: you made a large scale global policy change and drove the change management) - Redesigning work flows with the use of AI/agentic solutions - Experience leading complex employee relations matters (ex: difficult policy decision, standard employee investigation) - Minimum of 9+ years of progressive experience across HR systems, operational infrastructure, employee lifecycle processes, policy execution, and service delivery. - Someone who has held an HR Business Partner role (or similar employee facing role) - Prior people management experience, including meaningful experience coaching and developing junior team members. - Strong systems orientation and comfort with HRIS platforms, workflow tools, reporting, and process design. - Experience building or maturing contractor, consultant, or non-employee workforce processes. - Experience supporting company growth and change, with exposure to M&A, integration, or organizational transition work strongly preferred. - Ability to think beyond the current moment and design for where the company is going, not just where it is today. - Strong judgment, high discretion, and the ability to move fluidly between strategy and hands-on execution. - Excellent communication skills and the ability to turn ambiguity into clear action. - Experience in an AI-focused, high-growth, or highly innovative environment, with credible ideas for how AI and agentic approaches can level up HR Operations. HIGHLY DESIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE - You are curious, highly responsive, and energized by building better ways of working. - You bring both creativity and pragmatism, and know how to balance fresh thinking with what will actually work. - You can see both the immediate operational need and the longer-term operating model behind it. - You care about quality and discipline, but you are not attached to process for process’s sake. - You like using technology to modernize work and improve the employee experience. - You know how to lead others while staying close enough to the details to keep the function sharp. - You want to be ahead of the competition versus waiting to see if what others are doing will work. - You are highly collaborative, stakeholder oriented, and communicative.

IonQ is making quantum platforms more accessible and impactful than ever before. Location: Hybrid, Bothell, WA Travel: 15 - 20% Job ID: 1395 The Role: IonQ, Inc. [NYSE: IONQ] is the world's leading quantum company delivering solutions to solve the world's most complex problems. IonQ's newest generation quantum computers, IonQ Tempo and IonQ Forte Enterprise, are the latest in cutting-edge systems that have been helping customers and partners such as Amazon Web Services, AstraZeneca, and NVIDIA achieve 20x performance results. The company achieved 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity, setting a world record in quantum computing performance in 2025. The company is accelerating its technology roadmap and intends to deliver the world's most powerful quantum computers with 2 million qubits by 2030 to accelerate innovation in drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling, logistics, cybersecurity, and defense. IonQ's advancements in quantum networking position the company as a leader in building the quantum internet. We are looking for a VP, Quantum Computing Product Marketing to lead marketing for IonQ's Compute division. The division builds the world's leading quantum computers, provides cloud access to those systems, and co-develops quantum applications with selected enterprise customers. In this role, you will own the overarching market story for that portfolio, and the share of voice it earns us, contributing to the division's mission of establishing IonQ as the clear category leader in quantum computing. You will work directly with product, science, engineering, applications, sales and executive teams to understand deeply complex technical capability, then translate it into clear, differentiated market positions. The task is to align executive leadership, product and go-to-market teams around a single Compute narrative, with consistent framing, language and claims across every customer, partner, analyst and investor engagement, while preserving the technical authority of each individual product and customer solution. To all intents and purposes, this is the chief marketing role for Compute. Responsibilities: In this position, you will define and maintain the Compute narrative, the messaging architecture beneath it, and the launch strategy that carries both into the market. You will work from the technology roadmap through to market-ready storylines, monitor the competitive landscape and turn that intelligence into positioning and priorities, and set the guidance the division uses for communicating complex quantum concepts with both technical precision and market credibility. You will partner with the Senior Director of Creative on how the story is expressed, with product management and engineering in a milestone-driven environment, and with cross-product marketing and communications on shared storylines. You will arrive without a team, with the remit to tell us what this function should be rather than inherit an assumption, and to build it. Within the first six to twelve months, success looks like one unified narrative adopted across executive leadership, Product, Sales, Marketing and Communications; major launches supported by clear claims and coordinated execution rather than isolated announcements; and a leadership team with a sharper view of market narrative, competitive dynamics and emerging category opportunities. Key responsibilities include: - Define and own the overarching Compute narrative and messaging architecture, hold it consistent across every customer, partner, analyst and investor touchpoint, and establish the guidance the division uses to communicate complex quantum concepts credibly. - Lead launch strategy, messaging and content for major Compute products and technical milestones, working from the technology roadmap through to market-ready storylines, and driving cross-functional alignment so every launch lands as part of one argument. - Own share of voice for Compute, setting the event, campaign and creative strategy that carries the narrative into the market, and lifting IonQ from a reactive tone into a leadership one. - Monitor the competitive landscape and translate market intelligence into positioning and priorities, presenting strategy to executives and acting as a trusted partner to Compute leadership. - Define the operating model, governance and hiring plan for Compute marketing, and build the function from nothing to a team of two to five people over the first eighteen months. Experience & Background To be successful, you will bring at least ten years in B2B technology marketing, product marketing or category strategy, including significant leadership experience in complex technical markets where the category was still being defined. We are looking for someone who can earn the trust of scientists and engineers, learn a frontier technology quickly, get to the heart of what it actually does, and turn that into a story a commercial audience will act on. Just as importantly, we are looking for someone who will electrify this business: courageous, willing to push back on the product and on the messaging, and not comfortable with the status quo. We do not require prior quantum experience. What matters is a track record of turning frontier technology into a story people want to hear. Relevant backgrounds include cloud infrastructure, AI and machine learning, high performance computing, semiconductors, advanced computing, scientific instrumentation, biotechnology, aerospace and other deep technology markets. The role is based at our US headquarters near Seattle, and involves travel for cross-site, customer, event and executive engagements. You'd be a great fit with: - At least ten years in B2B technology or product marketing, with leadership experience in technically complex markets, and exceptional written, verbal and visual communication supported by a portfolio of executive-level messaging, product launches and thought leadership you personally shaped. - A record of translating frontier or scientifically complex technology into stories that reached a much broader audience, gained by engaging deeply with product, engineering and science teams to extract the substance rather than being handed a brief. - Proven ability to present to, advise and influence senior executives on market narrative, launch strategy and competitive positioning, alongside the confidence to challenge the product and the messaging rather than accept them. - Experience building share of voice in a crowded market through integrated campaigns, events, content, executive communications and creative work, and a strong product orientation gained working with product management and engineering in milestone-driven environments. - Experience building or specifying a marketing function rather than inheriting one, and comfort in a high-growth environment where the market is still being educated, the roadmap is technically complex and the category narrative is actively being defined. If this role has a commission structure, the compensation range below just reflects the base compensation range. Wage Transparency: $200,000 - $350,000 USD Compensation will vary based on individual factors such as education, qualifications, and experience of the final candidate(s), specific office location, and calibration against relevant market data and internal team equity. Posted base salary figures are subject to change as new market data becomes available. Our benefits include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans, matching 401(k), unlimited PTO and paid holidays, parental/adoption leave, legal insurance, and a home technology stipend. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided when a candidate receives an offer of employment. At IonQ, we believe in fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all while striving to identify and eliminate barriers. We empower employees to thrive by fostering a culture of autonomy, productivity, and respect. We are dedicated to creating an environment where individuals can feel welcomed, respected, supported, and valued. We are committed to equity and justice.

Headquartered in College Park, Maryland, IonQ has operations in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Tennessee, Washington, Italy, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Our quantum computing services are available through all major cloud providers, while we also meet the needs of networking and sensing customers across land, sea, air, and space. IonQ is making quantum platforms more accessible and impactful than ever before. Location: This position is US-based and can work onsite or hybrid from one of our offices or fully remote. Travel: Up to 30%, domestic and international Job ID: 1779 The Role: We are looking for a Principal Solutions Architect to design how networks become quantum-safe — for the largest network operators, enterprises, and government agencies in the world. Today's networks are secured with cryptography that a cryptographically relevant quantum computer will break. Every operator and enterprise will have to inventory their cryptography, make it agile, migrate to post-quantum algorithms, and in the highest-assurance segments complement that with quantum-safe key distribution. Almost nobody knows yet what that architecture actually looks like. That is the problem you will solve — first with customers, on real networks, and then as reusable architectures that shape what IonQ builds. This role sits deliberately in multiple places. A part of your time is customer-facing: in collaboration with our GTM colleagues, you'll lead architecture discussions, design quantum-safe target architectures and migration paths, run proofs of concept and interoperability tests, and support complex pursuits as the technical authority. The other part of your time is spent on design authority, standards work, and providing thought leadership internally and externally, including public speaking: turning what you learn in the field from internal and external peers into reference architectures, migration playbooks, standards, white papers, blogs, conference talks, and product requirements that our engineering and product teams build against. You are equally comfortable in a firewall design review as you are in a discussion about hybrid key exchange and crypto-agility. You can explain to a CISO why their crypto inventory is the hard part, and to a network engineer exactly which IPsec algorithms to use and where they could insert external key material in order to become quantum-safe. This is not a software architecture role — you will not own a codebase (it’s a plus if you can do some scripting). It is an architecture and customer role: you own designs, decisions, and the technical credibility of IonQ's quantum-safe networking story. Responsibilities : - Design quantum-safe target architectures and migration paths for customer networks — spanning WAN and transport, data center and campus, segmentation and access control, key management, and the crypto that underpins all of it. - Lead technical discovery and architecture workshops with network, security, and infrastructure teams. Assess the current state, identify where cryptography is embedded and where it is brittle, and build a migration plan the customer can actually execute. - Own the technical thread in complex pursuits: architecture proposals, RFI/RFP responses, security and compliance questions, competitive positioning, and objection handling — in partnership with Sales. - In collaboration with the Sales Engineers, design and run proofs of concept, interoperability tests, and pilots — including PQC and hybrid key exchange in production-representative network environments and, where relevant, QKD-integrated links — together with our engineering teams and customer staff. - Translate field learning into reusable reference architectures, migration playbooks, interoperability matrices, and design guides that scale beyond the deals you personally work. - Serve as the customer's voice in the product process. Bring architectural constraints, integration gaps, and roadmap requirements to Product and Engineering with enough specificity to be actionable, and hold us to them. - Track how the standards and threat landscape actually move and contribute to them — NIST PQC standards and migration guidance, protocol work in the IETF, national and sector-specific mandates and deadlines — and keep our architectures and guidance ahead of it. - Partner with Marketing, Corporate Communications, and GTM to build IonQ's technical presence in the networking and security community: talks, papers, blogs, standards bodies, and industry events. - Raise the technical bar around you — architecture reviews, mentoring, and the design patterns the rest of the team reuses. Requirements: - 15+ years designing and securing enterprise and/or service provider networks, in a solutions architecture, network architecture, security architecture, or senior customer-facing engineering capacity. - Deep (hands-on) knowledge of how networks are built and secured today: routing and switching, IP transport, network segmentation, firewall and access control design, VPN and encryption at the network layer, and Zero Trust principles applied to real infrastructure. Multi-vendor experience (for example, Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Nokia) is expected. - Working knowledge of applied cryptography as it appears in networks: TLS, IPsec, MACsec, PKI and certificate lifecycle, key management, and how algorithm and key material choices are made and changed in practice. - Demonstrated ability to work in front of customers at multiple levels — leading workshops, running architecture discussions with engineers, and holding a credible conversation with a CISO or SVP of Infrastructure about risk, cost, and sequencing. - A serious interest in where this is heading, and enough grounding to be credible on day one: post-quantum cryptography and crypto-agility, quantum key distribution, and the migration challenge facing existing networks. You do not need to have shipped a PQC migration — very few people have — but you should be able to reason about the problem rigorously and be visibly motivated to go deep. - Strong written communication. Architectures, migration plans, and design guidance are a large part of the output. - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. - Willingness to travel up to 30%, primarily within the US, with incidental international travel. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience with post-quantum cryptography migration: cryptographic discovery and inventory, crypto-agility architecture, hybrid key exchange, or PQC deployment in a network or PKI context. - Hands-on exposure to quantum key distribution or quantum networking — testbeds, carrier or research trials, key delivery interfaces to encryptors, or optical and transport-layer integration. - Experience at a network or security vendor, service provider, hyperscaler, or a large enterprise network or security team — with real accountability for architecture decisions at scale. - Familiarity with the security and compliance frameworks customers will map this work to: NIST CSF, CIS Benchmarks, ISO 27001, FISMA, FedRAMP, or sector-specific regulation. - Public-sector, defense, financial services, or telecom experience, where high-assurance and long data-confidentiality horizons make this problem urgent today. - Contributions to standards or the technical community: IETF, ETSI, national PQC migration working groups, published writing, or conference talks. - Certifications that validate technical depth — CISSP, CCIE/JNCIE, CCNP Security, or equivalent. - Comfort with automation and tooling — Python, config-as-code, network telemetry — enough to build a credible demo or analysis yourself rather than waiting on someone else.

Quantum Applications Architect
PsiQuantum’s mission is to build the first useful quantum computers—machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems. Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries. Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry—including partners like GlobalFoundries—we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don’t feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure. In 2024, PsiQuantum announced government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia, and Chicago, Illinois. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition that quantum computing will be strategically and economically defining—and that now is the time to scale. PsiQuantum also develops the algorithms and software needed to make these systems commercially valuable. Our application, software, and industry teams work directly with leading Fortune 500 companies—including Lockheed Martin, Mercedes-Benz, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Mitsubishi Chemical—to prepare quantum solutions for real-world impact. Quantum computing is not an extension of classical computing. It represents a fundamental shift—and a path to mastering challenges that cannot be solved any other way. The potential is enormous, and we have a clear path to make it real. Come join us. Job Summary: PsiQuantum’s applications team is uniquely focused on algorithms in the fault tolerant regime and is very tightly integrated with quantum architecture development. Within that team, the role of the algorithms team is to design, benchmark and implement quantum algorithms which drive the development of quantum applications for solving the world’s most pressing problems. Part of the team’s remit is to work closely with the quantum industry applications team, on one hand, to better understand the landscape of commercially viable use cases, and the compilation and software teams on the other, to better understand the precise capabilities and limitations of the hardware being built. This work takes quantum algorithms from concept to reality, may involve close collaboration with external partners on specific use cases, and directly enables the discovery of both new quantum application use-cases and novel algorithmic techniques. The role of a quantum applications architect is to work closely with these teams to discover and evaluate the performance of new quantum applications. The role itself therefore sits at the confluence of a variety of competencies. Success requires the ability to: create new solutions to emerging challenges, converse at a deep technical level with applications architects, solutions experts and external parties about their needs and how their research is best expedited by quantum algorithms; and to use co-developed tooling to drive the commercial interests of the company. It is the expectation of a Quantum Applications Architect to build quantum applications and algorithms both in advance of large-scale hardware and during its operation, and to be abreast of the best classical solutions to these applications. Responsibilities: - Research and development of techniques for quantum algorithms tailored for fault-tolerant quantum computers. - Contribute to the design, development, and benchmarking of quantum applications and the tools required for these tasks. - Work closely with external partners and internal teams to instantiate, validate and optimize quantum algorithms for use cases across a variety of domains, such as life sciences or sustainability. - Simulation and analysis of resource requirements for fault tolerant implementation of quantum algorithms in photonic quantum computing. - Collaborate with quantum architecture group to co-optimize algorithm methods with architectural design. Experience/Qualifications: - Graduate degree in Physics, Math, or Computer Science or equivalent required (MSc, PhD, or equivalent). - Significant research experience in quantum algorithms, compilation, complexity, or applications research. - Experience with quantum algorithms or compiling in the regime of fault tolerant gates preferred. - A results-driven “doer”, preferably with experience in a high-throughput, rapid-delivery work environment. - A problem solver, with an analytical mindset. - Proven team player with an ability to work effectively across departments, sites, and time zones. - Ability to work independently and contribute in a fast-moving start-up environment.
