p Paris /pp Business Operations – Software Development / /pp Full - time / /pp Hybrid /pp ppFounded in 2020 and based in the heart of Paris, C12’s mission is to be at the center of one of the biggest technological breakthroughs of the century and change the course of history by building a universal quantum computer. /ppAt C12, we believe that achieving a true breakthrough in quantum computing requires rethinking the fundamentals. That’s why our founders—deeply rooted in academic and engineering excellence—have chosen carbon nanotubes as the building blocks of our quantum processors. This ultra-pure material dramatically reduces error rates, boosts performance, and minimizes hardware overhead—key ingredients for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing. By crafting a unique approach that scales, we aim to revolutionize quantum computing just as silicon transformed classical computing. /ppSince our founding, we’ve raised over 25 million in funding, published 11 scientific papers, and secured 8 patents. Today, our fast-growing team of 80+, including 25 PhDs, has over 26 nationalities represented. We have our own cutting-edge lab spaces in Paris#39; historic Panthéon district, where scientists, engineers, and innovators work side-by-side to tackle some of the most exciting technical challenges of our time. /ppIf you#39;re passionate about shaping the future of quantum technology and want to make a real impact, C12 offers a unique environment to grow, learn, and innovate. /p /p /pp ph3Your role at C12 Quantum Electronics: /h3p pppThe Software team is here to assist and facilitate the work of the research teams towards building a quantum computer. /ppAs a Senior Software Engineer, you will be at the forefront of shaping the future of quantum measurement and help build the framework that runs experiments on quantum computers.
