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. 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. Job Responsibilities + 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 How We Build Systems Our work sits on the bleeding edge of technology. We often start with incomplete requirements and evolving constraints, especially when supporting new quantum hardware and control systems. We prioritize making progress with sound engineering judgment, then strengthening and refining solutions as systems stabilize and scale. This role rewards engineers who are comfortable choosing practical tools, adapting quickly, and improving systems incrementally rather than waiting for a perfect design. ## Related Videos - [Quantum DevOps - Quantum Application Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1441-quantum-devops-quantum-application-development) - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Generating code with Angular schematics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/129-generating-code-with-angular-schematics) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Quantum DevOps - Enabling Industrial Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100282-quantum-devops-enabling-industrial-engineering) ## Related Articles - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [The Fastest-Growing Tech Sectors to Look Out for in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/373-the-fastest-growing-tech-sectors-to-look-out-for-in-2025) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
