About IonQ

IonQ's bag runs from trapped-ion quantum computers (the Tempo line, also offered through every major cloud) to quantum networking, sensing and security products and a space line built on Capella satellite data and Skyloom optical terminals. Its direct quota seats open now are all public sector: an account executive for the NRO and the combatant commands and a senior AE for intelligence and federal civilian agencies, both of which require an active Top Secret clearance, plus senior AEs for the Space Force and for state governments and universities in the Northwest. Indirect selling gets as many seats: global alliance leads for the hyperscalers (AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Oracle) and for consultancies such as McKinsey, BCG, Accenture and EY, a partner lead recruiting resellers, distributors, integrators and telecoms across the Americas, and a channel director who carries a channel-sourced revenue number for the space portfolio. The rest are technical and post-sale: field engineers in Singapore and Seoul, applications scientists for defense and life sciences, a Boston solutions architect for quantum memories who is measured on deal progress rather than quota, four customer success roles (two in Mumbai) and a sales enablement manager in Geneva, while one quantum chip design engineer in College Park is a manufacturing job. Fourteen of the 21 openings sit in the US, mostly remote or attached to the College Park, Maryland headquarters.
