About the Role
Rigetti is seeking a Software Infrastructure Manager to lead the team responsible for building and operating the software infrastructure that powers our quantum computing platform.
You will sit at the intersection of cloud systems on-prem laboratory infrastructure and semiconductor fabrication environments supporting both internal research systems and the infrastructure behind Rigettis quantum cloud platform.
This role comes at a critical moment for the company. Rigetti is transitioning from primarily offering quantum computing as a cloud service toward deploying quantum devices in external environments which requires evolving our infrastructure architecture to support hybrid deployments across cloud and on-prem environments. At the same time the company is maturing operationally introducing stronger operational processes security and compliance frameworks and greater reliability in production systems.
The Infrastructure Manager will lead a small but highly capable team helping bring greater structure resilience and coordination to the infrastructure organization while ensuring the platform continues to scale alongside the companys growth.
Rigettis environment is technically complex combining cloud-native systems with specialized quantum hardware and semiconductor fabrication equipment making infrastructure work both challenging and highly interdisciplinary.

Help mature Rigettis infrastructure capabilities as the company scales by introducing more robust operational practices and processes
Improve system resilience reliability and documentation for production environments
Identify opportunities to simplify overly complex infrastructure patterns and improve operational efficiency including examining/improving cost structure
Cross-Functional Infrastructure Support
Work closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams including software engineers quantum engineers and hardware teams
Support the companys transition toward external hardware deployments requiring infrastructure that operates across both cloud and on-prem environments
Integrate infrastructure systems with lab devices fabrication environments and specialized hardware platforms
Vendor & Networking Coordination
Manage relationships with infrastructure and networking vendors
Evaluate long-term networking strategy and opportunities to bring additional networking capabilities in-house
Coordinate with contractors and partners supporting infrastructure and networking systems
Requirements
Experience leading or managing Infrastructure DevOps or SRE teams
