Quntum DevOps Engineer

Quantum DevOps Engineer – Job Description

Overview

We are looking for a Quantum DevOps Engineer to bridge the gap between quantum software development, classical infrastructure, and automated deployment pipelines. You will support quantum application teams by building scalable CI/CD workflows, integrating quantum frameworks, and ensuring reliable, secure, and high‑performance execution environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for quantum and hybrid (quantum–classical) applications.

• Automate deployment of quantum workloads across cloud‑based quantum providers and on‑premise simulators.

• Integrate quantum SDKs (e.g., Qiskit, Cirq, Braket, Q#, PennyLane) into development workflows.

• Manage containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) for quantum simulation environments.

• Implement monitoring, logging, and performance optimisation for quantum compute jobs.

• Ensure security, compliance, and reproducibility of quantum development processes.

• Collaborate with quantum researchers, software engineers, and infrastructure teams.

• Support versioning, testing, and validation of quantum algorithms and hybrid pipelines.

• Contribute to infrastructure‑as‑code (Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible) for quantum environments.

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong DevOps background (CI/CD, automation, cloud infrastructure).

• Experience with Python and at least one quantum SDK (Qiskit, Cirq, Braket, Q#, PennyLane).

• Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration.

• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and quantum cloud services.

• Experience with IaC tools (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi).

• Understanding of quantum computing concepts (gates, circuits, hybrid workflows).

• Strong debugging, optimisation, and systems‑thinking mindset.

• Ability to work with cross‑functional teams in research and engineering.
