Manager, DevOps and Security Engineering

At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.

Atom Computing is hiring a Manager, DevOps & Security Engineering to lead the team responsible for how our software gets built, tested, deployed, and secured. Our environment includes cloud services, on-premises servers, and embedded devices that control our quantum hardware. You’ll own the pipelines, infrastructure, and security practices that tie them together. That means maintaining CI/CD systems, managing build and deployment tooling, getting firmware and software onto lab hardware reliably, and keeping our systems patched, monitored, and compliant. You’ll split your time between leading a small team and doing hands-on technical work yourself. Reporting to the VP of Software & Control Systems, you’ll collaborate with a highly skilled and collegial team to help shape the future of quantum computing.

Due to the mix of on-prem and cloud infrastructure, this role is required to be in the office in Boulder at least 3 days per week.
