- Team with IBM Quantum Technical Ambassadors and IBM Quantum Technical Services to ensure our clients comprehend IBM’s world leading quantum technical expertise available to help clients engage successfully in quantum computing.

At IBM Quantum, we are leading a new era of computing. This CSE role will require initiative and aggressive engagement with the thought leaders of corporations, universities, and governments.
