Senior Product Manager, HPC

At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes.

Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat.

The work

Quantum computing is becoming part of the world’s leading supercomputing centers, and IQM is helping make that happen. As our Senior Product Manager for HPC, you’ll own the product offering enabling it. That means how IQM systems are installed in HPC centers, connected to them and operated within them, and how users run hybrid quantum-classical workloads with tools they already know, like job schedulers, programming environments, and user management. You’ll prioritize what we build next, based on what you learn from HPC centers, our business priorities, and engineering constraints. You’ll work most closely with our lead engineers for software and system integration, alongside other product managers, sales, HPC centers, research consortia and technology partners.

What you’ll actually do

• Talk to HPC centers, their system administrators and end users through interviews, site visits and market research, from data center site requirements to security and procurement needs

• Build and own the HPC integration strategy and roadmap, covering scheduler and resource manager integration, hybrid programming interfaces, remote and multi-user access, and monitoring and system administration tools

• Define product requirements and new features, prioritize them with R&D and software teams, and follow them through to release

• Make the calls on priorities across hardware, software and services, balancing customer value and engineering constraints

• Follow the HPC and quantum-HPC ecosystem, including standards, open-source software and public programs such as EuroHPC, and position IQM’s offering within it

• Plan go-to-market activities for new releases together with marketing and sales

• Be the go-to HPC integration expert in sales discussions, tenders and customer deliveries

• Write technical documentation for customers, such as product descriptions and integration and site requirements

What we’re looking for

• MSc in computer science, physics, engineering or a related field

• Experience in product management or a technical HPC role

• Hands-on understanding of HPC environments, such cluster architectures, job scheduling and resource management, parallel programming and the HPC software ecosystem

• Experience turning customer and operator needs into clear requirements and prioritizing development across hardware, software and services

• Ability to lead and align diverse teams without formal authority

• Clear written and verbal communication, including presenting, negotiating and building relationships with customers and partners

• Good business sense and the ability to find what matters most when priorities compete

• Willingness to travel up to 20%

• Knowledge of quantum computing and hybrid quantum-classical workflows is a strong advantage

• A PhD in a related field is a bonus

Why IQM?

• Full-stack quantum computing: From quantum hardware to software layers and beyond, we build across the full-stack.

• High-performance playground: We aim high, and we know sustainable performance only works when life outside work does too—hybrid setups, flexible hours.

• Never the smartest: You won’t always be the smartest person in the room. Neither will we. Expect to learn constantly - from each other and beyond with IQM’s Learning Hub, LinkedIn Learning, and a team-based L&D budget.

• Approachable leadership: Flat hierarchy, direct access. Feel free to approach any leaders. They're friendlier than they look!

• The sweet spot: Big enough to matter. Small enough to move fast. Growing between a startup and a corporation. We’re in the phase where top performers get noticed.

• Bigger than IQM: Our people build know-how for the entire quantum ecosystem. We publish papers, run hackathons, and help shape a market that's still being defined.

The future of computing won’t build itself. You might be one of the few who do.
