How we choose and check listings

What we list

We list roles in quantum computing hardware and software, quantum security and post-quantum cryptography (PQC), sensing, and communications and networking. We also list roles in systems integration, policy, and standards. In enabling technologies, we list roles in cryogenics, photonics, control electronics, and materials.

At quantum organizations, we also list business roles: sales, business development, product, marketing, technical writing, and operations.

We don’t list general roles at companies that happen to run a quantum group. We make an exception for a role that belongs to that group or directly supports its work.

Where listings come from

We take most listings from the public job feeds of employers’ applicant tracking systems. We read only those public feeds. We respect each site’s robots.txt file. We never log in, store cookies, or work around an access control to read a feed. We don’t copy listings from other job boards.

Employers can also send us roles directly. We apply the same standards to direct listings.

How we review and classify

We sort each new role by technology area, career level, location, and employment type with keyword rules we write and maintain. A member of our team then reviews the listing before we publish it. They correct the classification where needed.

We edit employer text only for format and accuracy. The description on each listing is the employer’s own.

We remove email addresses and phone numbers from listing descriptions. Candidates then apply through the employer’s official route.

Listing details

On each listing, you’ll find the job title, the employer, the location terms, the workplace type, and the employment type. Where we know them, we add the career level, technology area, qubit modality, any stated clearance requirement, and the salary. We also show the posting date and the date of our last check.

We show a salary only as the employer stated it, in the employer’s currency. We never estimate, convert, or infer one.

Checking and archiving

We re-read each employer’s feed regularly. When a role is missing from the feed on two consecutive checks, we archive the listing. We keep an archived listing at the same address and add a notice that the role is closed. Anyone who follows a link to the listing from another site still reaches it.

What we decline

• Roles with no connection to quantum technology.
• Listings with requirements based on age, sex, race, religion, disability, national origin, or any other characteristic protected by law.
• Clearance or citizenship requirements that the employer doesn’t genuinely need for the role.
• Listings without location terms.
• Any role where the employer asks candidates to pay a fee.
• Duplicate listings for the same role.

Independence

We apply these rules to every employer in the same way. An employer doesn’t become our client or our partner when we list its roles. No employer can pay to change how we classify or describe its roles.

Corrections and removals

Employers can ask us to correct a listing or remove their roles at employers@quantumcareers.com. We act on these requests within two business days. Anyone can report a problem with a listing at hello@quantumcareers.com.
