About Us
Iceberg Quantum is a quantum architecture company headquartered in Sydney. We design fault-tolerant architectures to significantly reduce the hardware overhead required for quantum error correction, accelerating the pathway towards useful quantum computing.
Our approach is to build the world’s best fault-tolerance research lab, and to partner closely with leading hardware companies to work toward implementation. We've raised $6m in Seed funding to realise this vision and lead us into our next phase of growth.
About the Role
We are looking for a highly capable and motivated operator to help scale our fast-growing early-stage company.
