Company mission
To create the world’s first useful fault tolerant, error corrected quantum computer that will solve otherwise impossible problems.
Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is a seasoned writer and editor with a strong understanding of complex technology topics
- 6+ years of experience of professional writing and editing experience, preferably within the technology, scientific, or deep tech sectors
- Excellent storytelling skills with the ability to distill complex scientific concepts into accessible, engaging narratives
- Strong research skills and a deep understanding of quantum computing, physics, or related scientific disciplines is a plus
- Experience managing content calendars and multiple writing projects simultaneously, with strong organizational skills and attention to detail
What the job involves
- This role is critical in driving the creation and management of high-quality content that effectively communicates PsiQuantum's vision, technology, and market impact
- The Editorial Lead will be responsible for developing compelling content strategies, overseeing all content creation across multiple channels, and ensuring a consistent brand voice that resonates with both technical and non-technical audiences
- Editorial Direction: Set the editorial vision and tone for all written content. Ensure consistency in style and voice across all communication platforms, maintaining a high standard of quality and clarity in all written materials

Focus on clear, engaging, and informative writing that simplifies complex technical concepts for a broad audience
- Research and Storytelling: Conduct thorough research to develop a deep understanding of quantum computing and PsiQuantum’s unique positioning within the industry. Craft compelling narratives that highlight our innovations, achievements, and market potential
- Collaboration with Subject Matter Experts: Work closely with scientists, engineers, and other internal stakeholders to accurately capture and convey complex technical information in an accessible way. Serve as the bridge between technical teams and broader audiences, translating highly technical content into understandable language
- Editing and Quality Control: Provide rigorous editing and proofreading of all written materials to ensure accuracy, clarity, and adherence to company style guidelines. Uphold the highest standards of editorial excellence across all content
Our take
Quantum computing will change the world more than any other imminent technological development, and PsiQuantum sits at the forefront of the charge to build the first quantum computer that will actually work.
The company is unique for the scale of their ambitions. Rather than focusing on what they term “intermediate milestones” like building smaller proof of concept systems, PsiQuantum builds the first large-scale, error-corrected computer, using photonics to deliver over 1,000,000 qubits (current quantum machines have yet to cross the 1,000 qubit mark).
There are plenty of companies building quantum computers, including the likes of IBM, Google and Honeywell, but these prototypical machines lack the size to correct errors, making them exponentially less useful than what PsiQuantum aims for. While other companies operate in the same sphere, PsiQuantum is unequivocally a leader in its field, founded by world-class academics and raising hundreds of millions in funding to reach unicorn status.
