About
is on a mission to commercialize atom-based quantum technologies that deliver orders-of-magnitude improvements in sensing and computing applications. We are seeking self-motivated, energetic individuals with exceptional problem-solving and technical skills to help drive our
Quantum Computing
mission forward.
At
Infleqtion
we embrace a startup mentality driven by results, urgency, and customer-focused innovation: We break down barriers between disciplines, stepping in wherever we can make the biggest impact. We thrive in uncertainty, embracing challenges as opportunities. We move quickly to prototype while never losing sight of the critical importance of systems engineering process and attention to detail. We take bold, calculated risks to drive progress. Infleqtion is seeking a
DevOps / Platform Engineer
to support the teams building the
control system software for Infleqtion’s quantum computers
. 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. How We Work
Small, highly technical, and collaborative team Close interaction between infrastructure, software, hardware, and research groups Tool-aware and pragmatic, with a focus on outcomes Emphasis on building clear documentation, shared understanding, and steady operational improvement over time. Why This Role
Direct impact on the infrastructure behind
next-generation quantum computers Opportunity to work across
software, hardware, networking, storage, and embedded systems A technically challenging environment where adaptability and judgment matter Room to grow with the team as systems and platforms evolve Competitive compensation and benefits 3+ years
