Our Team

Our people are the key to our success, discover your potential.

Our team is the foundation of our success, and we are always seeking talented, ambitious individuals to join us on our mission to unlock the power of quantum computing. Joining us means working alongside experts in a wide range of disciplines as we deliver the world’s most powerful quantum computers to our customers. We promote a culture of excellence, determination, and innovation where everyone feels respected and valued.

We have never let the historical precedent of “how things used to be done” define us. We take the status quo, and flip it on its head. Every day, we are innovating new solutions to complex challenges — in turn, pushing the boundaries of the quantum computing industry forward.

Our company is organised into distinct yet interconnected teams:
🛠️Systems / 🧩Processor / 📣Commercial / 🔎Strategy / 🥼UK Science /🧑‍💻Software / 🗣️People & Talent / 🥽US Science

By combining our team members’ expertise, we can tackle the most significant challenges in constructing large-scale quantum computers.

Approach to inclusion

We believe that integrating diverse experiences, ideas, and perspectives within our teams is what drives us forward.

🤝That’s why we strive to build an inclusive environment where every team member feels valued, respected and empowered – regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, ability, sexual orientation or gender identity.

✍️Our policies and practices are designed to ensure equal opportunities for all. We actively foster a culture where diverse perspectives are celebrated, open dialogue is encouraged, and everyone is supported to succeed. We regularly review our approach, engage with professional networks, and partner with third parties to assess our progress and ensure we’re always accountable to the values we uphold.
