Rigetti

• Berkeley, United States
• Hybrid
• US$180,000 – US$230,000 pa
• Mid-level

Owns end-to-end deployment of quantum computing systems both on-premises at customer and partner sites and on the cloud platform, acting as the technical point of contact from site requirements through installation, validation and handoff. Combines DevOps work — Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, CI/CD, observability — with on-site commissioning, SRE support and root-cause analysis, with international travel and on-call during installations.

Kubernetes · Karpenter · EKS +7

• Berkeley, United States
• Hybrid
• US$165,000 – US$190,000 pa
• Senior

Lead the mechanical design and integration of cryogenic hardware for quantum computers, including cryostat internals, RF signal delivery and silicon device packaging inside dilution refrigerators. Work spans 3D CAD, FEA thermal/vibrational simulation, prototyping and supplier management, collaborating with quantum physicists and RF engineers.

SolidWorks · PLM · CAD +1

• Berkeley, United States
• Hybrid
• US$180,000 – US$250,000 pa
• Senior

Builds and maintains data-intensive Python backend services for Rigetti's internal software team, supporting quantum engineers and fab engineers with measurement, characterization and fabrication tooling. Also works on cloud infrastructure, schema migrations, observability, and frameworks that let scientists use AI coding agents safely. Small senior team, close to the quantum hardware.

AWS · Kubernetes · Kafka +2

• Berkeley, United States
• US$115,000 – US$140,000 pa
• Mid-level

Hands-on field role operating, maintaining and debugging RF and cryogenic systems for quantum processors deployed at customer sites worldwide. Owns dilution refrigerator cooldowns, vacuum and helium leak detection, RF hardware validation, and on-call support, with 35%+ international travel.

• Berkeley, United States
• Hybrid
• US$190,000 – US$225,000 pa
• Lead · manages people

Lead a cross-functional team building next-generation superconducting quantum hardware, proposing new technical directions and designing experiments to improve performance and scalability. Own delivery of key quantum technologies, using cryogenic systems, RF and time-domain measurement, and Python to close performance gaps.

Python · cQED Simulation Tools

• Berkeley, United States
• Hybrid
• US$175,000 – US$200,000 pa
• Senior

Lead experimental programs to characterize, calibrate and optimize two-qubit gates on tunable-coupler superconducting processors, isolating error sources such as leakage, crosstalk and decoherence. Develop pulse shaping, dynamical decoupling and automated calibration methods that scale across hundreds of qubit pairs, feeding findings back into device design and fabrication.
