Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Software Platform Engineer - **Company:** Psiquantum, Corp. - **Location:** San Francisco Bay Area, CA, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $150,000.0 - $170,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Amazon Web Services, Program Optimization, Nvidia CUDA, Continuous Integration, Software Debugging, DevOps, Github, Identity and Access Management, Job Scheduling, Quantum Computing, Azure Machine Learning, Scientific Computating, Pulumi, Okta, Gitlab-ci, Terraform - **Published:** September 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/senior-software-platform-engineer-psiquantum-7888092 ## About the Role * Experience: 5+ years in Platform Engineering, DevOps, or SRE roles * Production AWS experience: Built and maintained systems on ECS/EKS, managed multi-account networking (VPCs, security groups), and dealt with real-world infrastructure complexity * Infrastructure as Code: You've written and maintained Terraform (or Pulumi/CDK) in production, including applying ongoing changes as requirements evolved * CI/CD: Improved build pipelines in production (reduced build times, increased reliability, made deployments easier to debug), including experience with GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or equivalent, * Background in scientific computing, research infrastructure, ML platforms, or early-stage startups (especially research computing vendors) * GPU/HPC experience: Supported GPU workloads in production environments, including code optimization, CUDA debugging, and job scheduler setup * Security & compliance experience: You've implemented auth systems (Auth0/Okta), managed encryption (KMS), or worked on compliance-driven infrastructure. * Exposure to quantum computing SDKs (Qiskit, Cirq, PennyLane) or hybrid classical-quantum workflows is a plus, but not required; genuine interest in quantum computing matters more than prior exposure What We're Not Looking For * Candidates focused on enterprise-scale batch computing rather than cloud-native platform engineering * Candidates who prioritize architectural purity over iterative delivery ## Description We're looking for someone to take ownership of ASET's infrastructure and pipelines from our existing platform engineer, continuing to grow our platform and making it easier for quantum researchers to do their best work. That platform includes AWS infrastructure, Terraform configs, CI/CD workflows, and resources our researchers depend on for large-scale, computationally intensive quantum simulations. There's a real opportunity to shape how all of it evolves. The right person for this role is comfortable making judgment calls under uncertainty; they will have a lot of latitude, and accountability to match. Responsibilities * Own our AWS infrastructure end-to-end and actively shape how it evolves; building and optimizing, not just maintaining * Reduce friction in the deployment pipeline so developers can ship features with confidence * Harden systems with intention: lock down IAM roles, container images, and authentication flows in ways that reflect a clear understanding of where the real risks are * Develop relationships and work closely with platform engineers across PsiQuantum, including to leverage HPC/GPU resources * Make deployments faster to roll out, easier to roll back, and less prone to failure * Lead incident response and post-mortems when necessary ## Related Videos - [Quantum DevOps - Quantum Application Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1441-quantum-devops-quantum-application-development) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Quantum DevOps - Enabling Industrial Engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100282-quantum-devops-enabling-industrial-engineering) - [Architecting the Future: Leveraging AI, Cloud, and Data for Business Success](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1096-architecting-the-future-leveraging-ai-cloud-and-data-for-business-success) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) ## 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) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [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) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
