What the job involves

Atom Computing is seeking a Senior IT Systems Engineer to drive innovation at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and advanced computing
In this role, you’ll design, implement, and maintain the systems and networks that power our cutting-edge quantum computing environment
You’ll work across both on-premises and cloud infrastructure—ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance through thoughtful automation and robust security practices
As a key member of the IT organization reporting to the Director of IT, you’ll collaborate closely with engineers, physicists, and developers to enable seamless operation of research and corporate systems
This position requires both technical depth and a hands-on approach to system design, deployment, and lifecycle management. Your work will directly support the mission of building the world’s most advanced quantum computers
Research, design, and implement company-wide IT projects. Some of these projects include MDM deployment across various OS’s, SSO integration, IAM Management, provisioning of enterprise resources, and software patching
Installing, configuring, and maintaining operating systems, application software, and system management tools
Manage internal hardware infrastructure, and IaaS infrastructure. Deploy best practices across the various environments, and ensure the highest levels of systems and infrastructure availability based on firmware/security updates and patching
Optimize IAM, DNS, DHCP and other critical services that run across all system environments
Use scripting and/or MDM platforms to manage user system and application updates
Keep any physical and virtual systems up-to-date with the latest security updates and vulnerability updates
Assist with Level I, II, III ticket queue, user administration, security, hardware management and any other day-to-day IT-related items
Partner with cross-functional teams across the organization, specific to DevOps, and Control Systems to assist with infrastructure needs
Monitor and test system / application performance for potential bottlenecks, identify solutions

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 is well positioned to provide the leading quantum computing power behind life-changing breakthroughs.
