About The Position

Infleqtion 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.
