Platform Engineer

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 seeking a Platform Engineer to build and operate the systems that power our quantum computing software and research workflows. In this role, you will implement infrastructure for our on-prem lab environments and cloud platforms. This position requires an interest in infrastructure engineering and intuition for operating production systems. Reporting to the Infrastructure Engineering Manager, you'll collaborate closely with a talented group of engineers and physicists to shape the future of computing.

Due to the need for collaboration with Atom's software, hardware, and control systems teams, this role is required to be in the office in Boulder, CO at least 3 days per week.
