Job description
- 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, * 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
Requirements
- 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
- Experience writing and debugging automation in Python, Bash, or similar languages
- Meaningful experience operating on-prem or hybrid infrastructure
- Strong Linux system administration experience
- 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
- Clear communicator who can document systems and participate in design discussions
- Ability to troubleshoot issues spanning software, OS, networking, storage, and hardware
- 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
- Hands-on knowledge of: Virtualization platforms (VMware, Proxmox, KVM, etc.), Networking fundamentals (VLANs, routing, firewalling, DNS, DHCP, TLS), NAS/SAN and shared storage systems
