About the role

  • That platform includes AWS infrastructure, Terraform configs, CI/CD workflows, and the GPU clusters our researchers depend on for large-scale, computationally intensive quantum simulations.
  • The right person for this role is comfortable making judgment calls under uncertainty

Responsibilities

  • Own our AWS infrastructure end-to-end and actively shape how it evolves
  • building, not just maintaining.
  • Implement monitoring and alerting that catches production issues before users notice them.
  • Lead incident response and post-mortems when necessary.
  • Own CUDA compatibility and driver versions across heterogeneous GPU clusters.
  • Build standardized SLURM job submission workflows that researchers can use without help.

Requirements

  • Production AWS experience: Built and maintained systems on ECS/EKS, managed multi-account networking (VPCs, security groups), and dealt with real-world infrastructure complexity.
  • CI/CD: Improved build pipelines in production (reduced build times, increased reliability, made deployments easier to debug), including experience with GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, or equivalent.

Nice to have

  • Background in scientific computing, research infrastructure, ML platforms, or early-stage startups (especially research computing vendors).
  • GPU/HPC experience: Supported GPU workloads in production environments, including code optimization, CUDA debugging, and job scheduler setup.
  • Security & compliance experience: You've implemented auth systems (Auth0/Okta), managed encryption (KMS), or worked on FedRAMP/compliance-driven infrastructure.
  • FedRAMP experience is a strong plus.
  • genuine interest in quantum computing matters more than prior exposure.
  • What We're Not Looking For
  • Candidates focused on enterprise-scale batch computing rather than cloud-native platform engineering.
  • Platform engineers without exposure to GPU workloads or HPC concepts.

Skills

  • There's a real opportunity to shape how all of it evolves.
  • 5+ years in Platform Engineering, DevOps, or SRE roles.
