Hacène, passionate about ecology, with a successful career in business development and corporate social responsibility, he co-founded ColibriTD with Dr. Laurent Guiraud back in 2019. He oversees strategy, finance and business development.
Dr. Hamza Jaffali was the first employee to join ColibriTD, he then took the lead of the R&D team and is now the CTO of ColibriTD. He has always had a passion for mathematics and computer science and completed his studies in computer engineering. After this, he continued his academic path to doctoral studies, and wrote his thesis on quantum information theory and quantum entanglement. This gave him the opportunity to explore various new subjects, including machine learning, algebraic geometry and numerical optimization. At ColibriTD, he combines his expertise in quantum computing and other fields for developing innovative products and solutions.
Guiding our R&D with world-renowned expertise in quantum physics and computational mathematics.

Inventor, Entrepreneur & pioneer in advanced technologies
A quantum computing startup brings together several types of technical profiles.
At ColibriTD, the core team is structured around three main roles:
This mix allows the company to connect advanced research with real industrial applications and deliver usable software solutions.
Working on quantum algorithms requires strong scientific and technical skills.
For research roles, ColibriTD mainly recruits PhDs in physics, computer science, mathematics, or related fields with a focus on quantum computing
These profiles work on algorithm design, hybrid methods, and mathematical modeling.
For software and IT roles, ColibriTD looks for engineers with a master’s degree in computer science, ideally with a specialization in quantum computing.
These profiles focus on building robust software, integrating algorithms, and developing tools that can be used in real environments.
