Role profiles
Quantum Computing roles U.S. employers hire international talent for
Hardware, software and error correction in one of the smallest talent pools in tech. Each profile describes the work, what employers screen for, and how a career like it maps to the O-1. These are role profiles, not job openings.

How to get matched
- Run the free eligibility checkA short AI review of your background against the eight O-1 criteria. Most of what you enter carries into your profile.
- Create your profile with code WORKWITHUSTell us your field and the work you do today; every O-1 case is judged against your field.
- Upload your evidenceAward letters, press about you, contracts, pay records, judging invitations. Each file is sorted under the criterion it supports, and your criteria map shows what you already meet and what is one document away.
- Meet U.S. companiesEmployers on the platform post full-time roles and short gigs. Gigs you confirm with verified companies count toward the U.S. itinerary your petition needs.
- Get to an attorney-ready caseIf you have no U.S. employer to file for you, the platform shows agents that can petition. When your score reaches 75 with the key pieces in place, we connect you with an immigration attorney.
