The people. We are a global company with people from a wide range of backgrounds working together to solve the world’s most computationally complex problems. Our people are researchers, engineers, and businesspeople that all bring a unique perspective and expertise to the table. But at the end of the day, we’re all genuine, humble, and collaborative people.

The people who succeed at Zapata are curious, collaborative, thoughful, transparent, and have a revolutionary mindset. Quantum is a new and evolving field that requires curiosity to drive the industry forward. But the work we do is highly interdisciplinary, requiring close collaboration between researchers, engineers, and enterprise end-users. It’s important to be mindful of the needs and feelings of our collaborators in all that we do. We’re also not interested in hype; we strive to be honest about our work even if the results aren’t what we hoped for. Integrity is one of our core values. Lastly, we’re taking cutting-edge research and engineering and applying it to real-world problems. Zapata’s employees are fearless revolutionaries who aren’t afraid to shake up the established order.

The culture at Zapata is one of collaboration, communication, creativity, inclusivity and innovation. There's not a day that goes by where people aren’t standing around a chalkboard brainstorming or collaborating on an engineering problem over Zoom. We want everyone to share their perspective no matter who they are or where they come from. People at Zapata are eager to share their knowledge and expertise, whether at weekly science meetings, the #scientific-discourse slack channel, or mentoring through our social action programs.
