If you are unsure if you meet these requirements, please apply and Amazon will review your application for eligibility., * 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience * Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Python, Ruby, Golang, Java, C++, C#, Rust * Experience with Linux/Unix * Experience with CI/CD pipelines build processes * Experience with using infrastructure-as-code to design and deploy cloud services * Experience with the full software development lifecycle (planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance), * Experience working with scientists in a research environment * Experience with AWS tools and services (e.g. CDK) * Experience with DevSecOps features in GitLab Ultimate * Experience setting up standardized, reproducible Python environments * Experience with AWS on-prem hardware solutions (e.g. Outpost) * Experience with networking and network security fundamentals * Experience with Kubernetes or high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure * Experience in experimental physics or quantum computing ## Description The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and technicians, on a mission to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer., We are looking to hire a Research DevOps Engineer to join our growing software team. You will work closely with our experimental and theoretical physics teams to enable their work characterizing, calibrating, and operating novel quantum devices. The ideal candidate will be able to translate high-level science requirements into DevOps deliverables (e.g. CI/CD scripts, hybrid infrastructure-as-code setups, standardized development environments, artifact repositories, etc.) that are performant, scalable, and secure. This requires someone who (1) has a strong desire to work within a team of scientists and engineers, and (2) demonstrates ownership in initiating and driving projects to completion. As a Research DevOps Engineer, this role has a particular emphasis accelerating the research software development lifecycle at the AWS Center for Quantum Computing through automation, standardization, and managing hybrid (cloud + physical lab) infrastructure., * Design and maintain standardized, reproducible development environments for research scientists. * Own dependency, build, and release management across interdependent research software projects. * Develop and streamline CI/CD pipelines for low-overhead automated testing and rapid deployment. * Manage hybrid infrastructure spanning cloud services and on-prem physical hardware. * Automate provisioning and configuration using infrastructure-as-code solutions (e.g. Docker, AWS CDK). * Maintain Amazon's high security bar without slowing down the pace of internal development. * Implement best practices for observability and monitoring to enable rapid debugging and high service uptime. * Empower others to actively contribute to the codebase through mentorship and documentation. We are looking for candidates with strong engineering principles, a bias for action, superior problem-solving, and excellent communication skills. Working effectively within a team environment is essential. As a DevOps engineer embedded in a research organization, you will have the opportunity to work on new ideas and stay abreast of the field of experimental quantum computation. A day in the life The majority of your time will be spent on projects that accelerate the development of our internal research software stack. This requires working backwards from the needs of our science staff in the context of our larger experimental roadmap. You will translate science and software requirements into design proposals balancing implementation complexity against time-to-delivery. Once a design proposal has been reviewed and accepted, you'll drive implementation and coordinate with internal stakeholders to ensure a smooth roll out. Because many high-level experimental goals have cross-cutting requirements, you'll often work closely with other engineers or scientists or on the team. About the team You will be joining the software team within the AWS Center of Quantum Computing. Our team is comprised of scientists and engineers who are building scalable software that enables quantum computing technologies. ## Related Videos - [Coffee with Developers: David Heinemeier Hansson](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/875-coffee-with-developers-david-heinemeier-hansson) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Quantum DevOps - Quantum Application Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1441-quantum-devops-quantum-application-development) - [Coroutine explained yet again 60 years later](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/690-coroutine-explained-yet-again-60-years-later) - [Scoring 2000 Products per Request: Performance Pitfalls in Golang](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2073-scoring-2000-products-per-request-performance-pitfalls-in-golang) ## 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) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [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) - [DevOps Engineer Salary [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/203-devops-engineer-salary-2023) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers)
