PsiQuantum - Senior Software Platform Engineer

• 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. • 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 • PsiQuantum provides equal employment opportunity for all applicants and employees.
