Job Description
Quantum computing holds the promise of humanitys mastery over the natural world but only if we can build a real quantum computer. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first real useful quantum computers capable of delivering the worldchanging applications that the technology has long promised. We know that means we will need to build a system with roughly 1 million qubits that supports fault tolerant error correction within a scalable architecture and a data center footprint.
By harnessing the laws of quantum physics quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over todays most powerful supercomputers offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate energy healthcare pharmaceuticals finance agriculture transportation materials design and many more.
PsiQuantum has determined the fastest path to delivering a useful quantum computer years earlier than the rest of the industry. Our architecture is based on silicon photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components at Tier1 semiconductor fabs such as GlobalFoundries where we leverage highvolume semiconductor manufacturing processes the same processes that are already producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. We also benefit from the quantum mechanics reality that photons dont feel heat or electromagnetic interference allowing us to take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems and industry standard fiber connectivity.
In 2024 PsiQuantum announced two governmentfunded projects to support the buildout of our first Quantum Data Centers and utilityscale quantum computers in Brisbane Australia and Chicago Illinois. Both projects are backed by nations that understand quantum computings potential impact and the need to scale this technology to unlock that potential. And we wont just be building the hardware but also the fault tolerant quantum applications that will provide industrytransforming results.
Quantum computing is not just an evolution of the decadesold advancement in compute power. It provides the key to mastering our future not merely discovering it. The potential is enormous and we have the plan to make it real. Come join us.
Theres much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!
Team Overview
PsiQuantums Quantum Applications Software Team is dedicated to creating a software environment where quantum application developers can discover build utilize optimize and visualize largescale quantum algorithms for classically intractable problems. As we continue to scale were building out a QA function that bridges classical software QA best practices with cuttingedge quantum software development.
Role Overview
We seek a Platform Engineer with deep expertise in AWS infrastructure Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD automation to architect and maintain scalable secure systems. This handson role bridges engineering and operationsyoull build foundational IaC frameworks enforce security rigor and collaborate with QA/development teams to ensure reliability observability and rapid iteration.
Youll have the opportunity to:
- Build and own critical infrastructure using Terraform AWS CDK and Pulumi balancing developer agility with enterprisegrade security.
- Champion DevOps practices by automating workflows hardening CI/CD pipelines and implementing proactive monitoring.
- Partner with crossfunctional teams (QA product engineering) to align infrastructure with compliance scalability and uptime goals.
Responsibilities:
- Design and Maintain IaC Foundations: Write modular reusable Terraform/Pulumi code to provision AWS services (EKS RDS VPC etc. ensuring multiaccount networking and crossenvironment parity.
- Automate CI/CD Pipelines: Oversee GitLab CI workflows (builds tests deployments) and integrate security checks (IAM KMS) into every stage.
- Collaborate on System Reliability: Partner with QA teams to design testable infrastructure debug deployment failures and validate pre/postdeployment system health.
- Implement Observability: Deploy monitoring/logging tools (e.g. CloudWatch Prometheus Grafana) to preempt issues optimize performance and ensure SLA compliance.
- Enforce Security Best Practices: Embed authentication/authorization controls (Okta IAM) and compliance standards (e.g. public sector requirements) into infrastructure design.
- Document and Iterate: Create runbooks for incident response disaster recovery and infrastructure scaling to minimize downtime.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelors Degree in Computer Science Engineering or a related field.
- 5 years in DevOps/Platform Engineering with handson AWS expertise (EKS IAM VPC S3 and multiaccount networking (transit gateways peering security groups).
- Proven IaC Experience: Designed and deployed production infrastructure using Terraform and Pulumi/AWS CDK.
- CI/CD Ownership: Built and maintained GitLab CI/GitHub Actions pipelines with artifact management rollback strategies and parallelized jobs.
- Containerization & Microservices: Shipped Dockerized apps on ECS/EKS and serverless workloads (Lambda API Gateway) with zerodowntime deployments.
- Agile/Scrum Fluency: Collaborated in sprintbased teams to prioritize infrastructure work alongside feature development.
- MultiEnvironment Governance: Managed dev/staging/prod parity using IaC feature flags and environmentspecific configurations.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Database Optimization: Tuned RDS/DynamoDB/Redis clusters for scalability and lowlatency access.
- Security & Compliance: Implemented Auth0/Okta KMS encryption or FedRAMP/IRAPaligned systems for public sector clients.
- HPC/Advanced Compute: Deployed domainspecific containerization (Apptainer/Singularity) or managed GPU/ML clusters.
- AWS Certifications: Solutions Architect DevOps Engineer or Security Specialty certifications.
- Scripting Proficiency: Python/Bash for automation tooling or glue code.
- Quantum Curiosity: Exposure to quantum SDKs (Qiskit/Cirq) or hybrid classicalquantum workflows.
