Role

Who you are

BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent on-the-job experience
5+ years of post-degree professional experience maintaining large scale distributed systems
Strong understanding of cloud deployment and infrastructure management using Azure, AWS or GCP
Experience with on-premise hardware services, including virtualization and containerization management solutions such as Proxmox VE, Docker and Podman
Solid knowledge of CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI/CD or GitHub Actions
Ability to optimize and tune on-premise hardware for performance and low latency using tools such as perf, systemd-analyze, iostat, and tuning profiles
Proficiency in designing and implementing metrics, monitoring, and alerting pipelines using Datadog, Grafana, or other observability tools
Skilled in architecting infrastructure workflows with tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Helm, or Kubernetes

Desirable

Building and scaling a developer operations team, including workflow automation, access management, and infrastructure-as-code practices
Having managed and optimized databases either in the cloud or on-site
Familiarity and experience implementing security best practices
Having set up or configured networks, both physical and virtual
Interfacing with and controlling cameras, motors, lasers, and other third party devices

What the job involves

Atom Computing is seeking an Infrastructure Engineer to enhance our software development workflows and maintain the critical infrastructure that powers our quantum computer
In this role, you’ll work across the entire stack, enabling engineers and physicists to seamlessly deploy software and operate the system with reliability and efficiency
Our environment combines both on-premises and cloud infrastructure, requiring innovative approaches to managing and scaling each
You'll collaborate closely with a talented, tight-knit team of engineers and physicists, reporting to the Software Engineering Manager
Administer and maintain a fleet of on-premise Linux servers (and a few Windows VMs) to ensure reliable and performant operation of the quantum computing environment
Design and implement automated workflows for managing and scaling cloud and on-premise infrastructure
Build and optimize monitoring, alerting, and performance metrics systems to support both development and production environments
Collaborate with engineering teams to streamline CI/CD pipelines and improve deployment efficiency

Our take

Quantum computers are largely defined by their qubit type and coherence times. Atom Computing creates spin qubits by using the neutral atom Strontium-87, which, in one of its nuclear spin states, can coherently remain in that state for a very long time, allowing computers to run deeper quantum circuits.

Qubits are fragile and susceptible to errors, but the company’s unique system yields a record-setting coherence time of 40 seconds which is monumentally faster than other systems, allowing more time for quantum error correction research to detect and correct errors without completely degrading purposeful computation.

The company raised $60 million of capital in its 2022 Series B round and a further $10 million extension in 2024. That same year, Atom Computing announced a partnership with Microsoft, which will see the two companies collaborate on a range of commercially viable quantum computers, containing 1000 qubits each. It appears, then, that Atom Computing is well positioned to provide the leading quantum computing power behind life-changing breakthroughs.
