At Classiq Technologies, we’re shaping the future of quantum computing.
Our mission is to make quantum computing practical and impactful by bridging the gap between hardware and real-world applications. Our platform enables developers and enterprises to design, optimize, and deploy quantum algorithms at scale, automating complex processes and supporting teams from beginners to experts across diverse architectures. Classiq is trusted by Fortune 500 leaders and global governments. We accelerate the quantum era with a platform that transforms bold quantum ideas into working applications.
Some of the most respected enterprise logos across multiple verticals are already our clients. We are at the inflection point - the moment when category invention becomes category leadership, and we need the sellers who will drive that transition.
As Classiq's first dedicated commercial leader in France, you will play a defining role in establishing our leadership across one of the world's most advanced quantum ecosystems. Beyond closing enterprise deals, you will engage with government initiatives, industry partners, and leading research organizations, influence our regional go-to-market strategy, and help build the foundation for Classiq's long-term expansion in France.
