Job Description:
Quantinuum is seeking to hire a System Reliability Engineer for our Cambridge-based cloud platform, Quantinuum Nexus. Our team supports quantum researchers at every stage of an experiment, making working on quantum computers as easy as sending an email.

The successful candidate will be an expert in managed Kubernetes instances such as Amazon EKS and the distributed systems built on them. Managing architecture, performance, security, and cost will be core responsibilities. Experience with tools like Helm, Karpenter, and k9s is essential.

Experience with collecting logs, traces, and metrics via Opentelemetry, and making those available through AWS products like X-Ray and CloudWatch, is required. These readings will be used to ensure Nexus meets high standards for performance and reliability, or to guide improvements.

You will be active in reporting, monitoring, and diagnosing issues and outages. Programming experience to understand production code and correlate it with monitoring data is necessary. You will work closely with the development team to resolve issues swiftly.

The ideal candidate will have:

Experience with Kubernetes and Docker

Experience collecting logs, traces, and metrics for distributed systems

Experience using AWS CloudWatch to identify bugs and performance issues

Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform

Experience working on cloud-based systems where uptime is critical

It would be desirable to have:

Experience with PostgreSQL

Experience in continuous deployment environments

Debugging and troubleshooting skills in code

Professional experience with Python

Familiarity with OpenTelemetry standards and SDKs
