First Line IT Internship
Job Overview
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.
This is a 6-month fixed-term contract. You will work full time during the summer. After that, we can adjust the hours to support your studies and our team schedule.
Please apply by 1 May 2026.

Service-minded attitude and a genuine interest in helping others
Customer service experience, from IT support or another people-facing role
Good working knowledge of Mac, Windows, and Linux
Ability to follow instructions and document actions taken in a clear way
A systematic way of working and good problem solving skills
Strong collaboration skills and comfort working with different teams
Nice to have
Experience with workstation imaging and setup at scale
Familiarity with IT asset management tools or inventory processes
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: Expect to learn constantly. You won't always be the smartest person in the room, and that's the point.
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.
