Company mission
Infleqtion's mission is to make quantum work for everyone.
Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for engineers who are comfortable operating in uncertainty, who enjoy solving concrete problems, and who can help evolve systems from early solutions into robust, production-quality platforms over time
- We’re open to candidates with different experience levels; strong fundamentals, curiosity, and the ability to learn quickly matter more than having every skill listed
- 3+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles
- If you have substantially more experience than this and are excited to apply, please do — we will also consider hiring at the Senior DevOps Engineer level
- Strong Linux system administration experience
- Meaningful experience operating on-prem or hybrid infrastructure
- Hands-on knowledge of: Virtualization platforms (VMware, Proxmox, KVM, etc.), Networking fundamentals (VLANs, routing, firewalling, DNS, DHCP, TLS), NAS/SAN and shared storage systems
- Experience writing and debugging automation in Python, Bash, or similar languages
- Ability to troubleshoot issues spanning software, OS, networking, storage, and hardware
- Clear communicator who can document systems and participate in design discussions
Desirable
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management (Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, Chef, or similar)
- Experience with CI/CD systems such as GitLab CI or equivalent
- Database administration experience, especially PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB, InfluxDB or similar time-series databases
- Exposure to security, compliance, or regulated environments, including:
- EAR / ITAR considerations
- Secure system design or audit readiness
- Experience with networked devices, IoT, or scientific / lab equipment
- Familiarity with embedded software environments, including Yocto, Vivado, and cross-compilation workflows
- Some experience administering Windows Server environments
What the job involves
- Infleqtion is seeking a DevOps / Platform Engineer to support the teams building the control system software for Infleqtion’s quantum computers
- This role works closely with software engineers, embedded systems engineers, and physicists to accelerate technology development by building and maintaining the infrastructure, automation, and tooling that underpin our systems
- This is a highly technical, hands-on role supporting cutting-edge quantum computing systems, where requirements evolve quickly and the “right” solution is not always obvious at the outset
- You’ll be working in an environment that spans on-prem infrastructure, lab and scientific equipment, embedded systems, and production software, often simultaneously
- Build and operate on-prem and hybrid infrastructure supporting quantum computing platforms
- Administer Linux systems in both production and research environments
- Manage servers, virtualization, and capacity from bare metal through VMs
- Design, operate, and troubleshoot networking across compute systems, labs, and connected devices
- Work with NAS/SAN and shared storage technologies to support stateful, high-throughput workloads
- Develop and maintain automation for provisioning, configuration, testing, and deployment
- Apply infrastructure-as-code and configuration management practices
- Support and integrate networked lab equipment, IoT-style devices, and specialized hardware
- Collaborate across disciplines to support testing, deployment, and operational workflows
- Participate in incident response and help drive iterative reliability and operability improvements
- Incorporate security, hardening, and operational best practices as systems mature
Our take
Quantum physics is a rapidly developing scientific field that promises great innovations within computing, with some working quantum computers already existing. However, such computers are extraordinarily expensive and complex to operate, making it difficult for startups to leverage the technology and apply it to commercial products.
Infleqtion, previously known as ColdQuanta, develops quantum computers, sensors, and networks, integrating them together to form an ecosystem of cloud-hosted quantum infrastructure readied for commercialization. This empowers businesses to leverage quantum computing without them needing their own quantum computer, accelerating adoption of the tech.
While quantum computing has rapidly developed from proof-of-concept to practical applications in the last decade, it has yet to break into common use. By increasing accessibility to the current state of practical quantum technology, Infleqtion should be able to help disrupt industries across the board. Its research arm, which has retained the "ColdQuanta" identity, remains primed to bring new advances to the space, which will, in turn, be more quickly commercialized. Substantial grants awarded in 2024 will help Infleqtion develop its quantum clock product for precision timing.
