IAt IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes.

Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat.

The Work

Are you ready to be part of something groundbreaking? At IQM, we're at the forefront of the next technological frontier, and we're looking for a Software Infrastructure engineer.

In order to use quantum computer hardware, we need a server to manage communications between users and the quantum computer. IQM has a state-of-the-art QPU (quantum processing unit), and we need Software Infrastructure engineers to ensure our software meets our customers' requirements. As a Software Infrastructure engineer, you will plan and solve tasks related to building, improving, and monitoring our CI/CD tools as a valued member of the DevOps team. You will succeed in this role if you have experience with modern CI/CD tools and practices, and a willingness to share and learn.

We are looking for someone who possesses most of the following skills:

• At least 5 years of professional experience in DevOps, Infrastructure, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or a similar role.

• Solid experience in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.

• Good understanding of Linux operating systems.

• Experience with programming and scripting languages such as Python and Bash.

• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Ansible is a plus.

• Proficient knowledge of containerization and orchestration technologies, including Docker and Docker Compose. Kubernetes knowledge is a plus.

• Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.

• Understanding of release management principles.

• Knowledge of and interest in software security best practices and controls.

• Curious and proactive mindset with strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.

Note: We do not expect experience in the field or familiarity with quantum computer infrastructure.

We expect a minimum of five years of experience working as a Software Infrastructure engineer or DevOps.

Why IQM?

• Full-stack quantum computing: From quantum hardware to software layers and beyond, we build across the full-stack.

• High-performance playground: We aim high, and we know sustainable performance only works when life outside work does too—hybrid setups, flexible hours.

• Never the smartest: Expect to learn constantly. You won't always be the smartest person in the room, and that's the point.

• Approachable leadership: Flat hierarchy, direct access. Feel free to approach any leaders. They're friendlier than they look!

• The sweet spot: Big enough to matter. Small enough to move fast. Growing between a startup and a corporation. We’re in the phase where top performers get noticed.

• Bigger than IQM: Our people build know-how for the entire quantum ecosystem. We publish papers, run hackathons, and help shape a market that's still being defined.

The future of computing won’t build itself. You might be one of the few who do.
