Quantum Computing Jobs

• 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.

• 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.

• Oxford
• Lead

Leads the evolution of the system software architecture for a quantum computer, spanning real-time hardware control, low-level orchestration and developer-facing interfaces across a family of products. Coaches technical leads in architectural principles and coordinates with infrastructure, firmware and compiler teams in the UK and US, working at system level rather than designing through code.

Rust · AWS

• Oxford
• Hybrid
• Senior

Hands-on staff engineering role building the control plane that schedules and prioritises quantum programs, arbitrates exclusive hardware access, streams results and records everything that ran across a fleet of trapped-ion quantum computers. Work spans Rust services, PostgreSQL persistence, crash recovery and scheduling frameworks, with deep diagnosis of live-system failures.
