PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first commercially useful quantum computer to solve humanity. Backed by Founders Fund and Redpoint.
About the role
The Technical Product Management Lead will serve as the technical face of the product to customers, partners, and the broader industry. This role will lead detailed specification negotiations and technical engagements with customer architecture teams, translating customer constraints and needs into clear, actionable product requirements. The Lead will partner closely with engineering on product priorities, trade-offs, testing, and documentation while owning specifications at the customer boundary.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years in datacenter networking with real depth in switch and fabric architecture, product management or product-owner experience.
- Has been the vendor architect in a room of skeptical buyers and won on merit.
- Practical grasp of the optical layer as a networking engineer uses it: link budgets, transceiver compatibility, reach and loss margin.
- Excellent written communication — a large share of the role is documents that survive scrutiny without you present.
- Zone 1 - Bay Area and NYC
- Zone 2 - Examples include Los Angeles and Washington DC
More about this role
PsiQuantum's mission is to build the first useful quantum computers: machines capable of delivering the breakthroughs the field has long promised. Since our founding in 2016, our singular focus has been to build and deploy million-qubit, fault-tolerant quantum systems.
Quantum computers harness the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that even the most advanced supercomputers or AI systems will never reach. Their impact will span energy, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials, and other foundational industries.
Our architecture and approach is based on silicon photonics. By leveraging the advanced semiconductor manufacturing industry, including partners like GlobalFoundries, we use the same high-volume processes that already produce billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics. Photonics offers natural advantages for scale: photons don't feel heat, are immune to electromagnetic interference, and integrate with existing cryogenic cooling and standard fiber-optic infrastructure.
That approach has since been tested at the highest level of scrutiny the U.S. government applies to emerging technology, and it has held up. In 2025, PsiQuantum...
