Join the Runtime Software team to build the real-time control system that turns quantum hardware into a working computer. You'll develop Rust libraries and abstractions over real-time control devices, driving ions with nanosecond precision, and work closely with experimental scientists and compiler teams.
Rust
Lead end-to-end delivery of quantum computing systems to customer sites across Europe and Asia, owning deployment and commissioning from early planning and export through installation and handover. Coordinate engineering, legal, trade compliance, logistics, facilities and customer teams, defining delivery processes from scratch in a fast-growing environment.

Infleqtion · 51–200 people · Public
Experimental AMO physicist role focused on translating product requirements into atomic system designs for quantum RF sensor systems. Involves modelling, simulation, testing and integrating opto-mechanical systems, electronics and software into quantum devices, working closely with a multidisciplinary team of physicists and engineers.
Infleqtion · 51–200 people · Public
Builds and maintains CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration and infrastructure-as-code for integrated software, firmware and gateware, including hardware-in-the-loop testing rigs. Also owns lab system management, network and server administration, backup and recovery planning, and software security procedures for production systems. Split between Kidlington and the National Quantum Computing Centre at Harwell, with up to two days remote.
Docker · Kubernetes
Integrate all features needed to operate quantum computers into complex multi-layer chips, taking designs from requirements through layout and tape-out. Work closely with scientists and fabrication engineers on ion trapping chips, routing metal tracks and interfacing with photonics and CMOS, while owning project delivery independently.
GDSFactory · Python · Cadence +1
Owns a group of non-realtime device controllers end to end, from API design and implementation to rollout and operational health, for hardware such as cryogenic compressors, vacuum pumps, lasers and cameras. Controllers are written in Rust on Linux, using gRPC/REST and instrument protocols like SCPI, Modbus, serial and Ethernet, working closely with systems teams and quantum scientists.

IonQ · 501–1000 people · Public
Owns an annual new business and expansion quota selling Capella Data as a Service subscriptions, SAR imagery and analytics, tasking capacity and complete satellite systems to enterprise, defence and civil government accounts across EMEA. Runs long-cycle capital programmes alongside faster data subscriptions, responding to RFIs, RFPs and government tenders and forecasting in CRM.
CRM · AWS
Lead end-to-end delivery of the Systems Software roadmap across five engineering teams (runtime, orchestration, quantum tools, controllers, transport) for concurrent next-generation quantum system programmes. Own planning, dependency management, risk surfacing and status reporting, working with hardware, science and US-based teams to make capacity decisions explicit.
Jira · Confluence · GitHub +1
Builds and runs the Kubernetes-based platform behind IonQ's quantum systems, spanning on-site clusters and cloud infrastructure. The role covers CI/CD pipelines, observability for lasers, cryogenics and vacuum hardware, remote development environments, and infrastructure as code with OpenTofu. It involves leading strategic platform projects and working closely with physicists, lab technicians and SRE colleagues.
Kubernetes · k3s · ArgoCD +7
Builds and commissions precision optical and laser assemblies for quantum computing hardware, covering free-space alignment, fibre coupling and testing delicate components under microscopes. Works alongside technicians, engineers and scientists on system builds, maintenance and upgrades, documenting work and maintaining a safe laser laboratory.
Class 4 Lasers · Microscopes · PPE
Hands-on role supporting the optical manufacturing team building and upgrading quantum computer systems. Day to day involves optical, mechanical and electrical assembly, keeping the lab and workshop tidy and safe, and producing and maintaining technical documentation alongside engineers, scientists and senior technicians.
Join the Runtime Software team to build the real-time control system that turns a collection of hardware into a quantum computer. You'll develop Rust libraries and execution environments, write drivers for real-time devices, and work closely with experimental scientists, FPGA and compiler teams to drive ions with nanosecond precision.
Rust · FPGA · Linux
Owns the full lifecycle of electrical reliability fixes on operational trapped-ion quantum computers, from triaging and root-causing control and drive-electronics faults to designing, prototyping and retrofitting permanent solutions. Works across Operations, Science and Manufacturing on fleet-wide upgrades, standardising hardware and building telemetry to cut downtime.
Altium · ADC · DAC +2
Hands-on staff engineering role owning the non-realtime control software for quantum computers, integrating supporting hardware such as cryogenic compressors, vacuum pumps, lasers and cameras on general-purpose Linux. You will write Rust controllers and shared frameworks, build simulators and test infrastructure, and diagnose failures that only appear against real hardware in a live lab.
Rust · gRPC · REST +5
Owns a service or subsystem of the control plane that schedules and arbitrates access to trapped-ion quantum computers, keeping them calibrated and productive. Involves Rust, async programming, gRPC/REST services, PostgreSQL state machines, concurrency and failure handling, plus moving live systems onto new behaviour. Works closely with runtime, systems and operator teams.
