What the job involves

Atom Computing is seeking a Technical Lead Manager – DevSecOps to drive innovation at the intersection of software, infrastructure, and security.
In this role, you’ll balance hands-on technical contributions with team leadership to build and support world-class developer workflows.
You’ll work across the full stack—empowering engineers and physicists to deploy software seamlessly and operate our systems with reliability, scalability, and efficiency. Our environment blends on-premises and cloud infrastructure, demanding creative solutions and a passion for operational excellence.
Reporting to the Director of Control Systems & Software, you’ll collaborate with a highly skilled and collegial team to help shape the future of quantum computing
Lead and mentor a team of 3 to 5 software engineers with specialties in infrastructure, developer experience and security
Drive improvements in KPIs around ease of deployment and developer iteration cycles times
Work closely with Atom Computing’s quantum physicists, optical engineers, and hardware engineers to understand use cases and deliver infrastructure, cyber-security and developer experiences that addresses the needs

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.
