You will take ownership of our public cloud architecture (mainly GCP), understand the existing platform in depth. You will be expected to propose and execute a sequenced improvement roadmap - in close alignment with the Infrastructure Engineering Manager, to whom you will report.\nPASQAL Cloud is the managed service through which customers submit quantum jobs to our emulators and QPUs. It runs on Kubernetes across several regional platforms (Europe, Middle East).\nThis is a senior individual-contributor role with design responsibility, inside a small Ops team. You will work primarily on the cloud infrastructure but will also occasionally contribute HPC cluster resources which are used for emulation purposes.\n Job description\nImprove and operate our platform with GCP: networking (VPC, load balancing, DNS, firewall policies, WAF), identity (IAM, OIDC, workload identity), multi-region and multi-tenant concerns, resilience and cost control.\n\nDefine and document governance rules, infrastructure standards and golden paths (versioned modules, review rules, guardrails), and get them adopted by the teams that use them.\n\nSupport software engineering teams on deployment automation, environment provisioning and production readiness - you are an enabler, not a ticket queue.\n\nStrengthen monitoring, alerting and incident response; take part in on-call and turn incidents into durable fixes.\n\nOperate, configure and secure infrastructure related GitLab configuration : CI/CD design, runners, permissions, secrets handling, supply-chain and instance hardening.\n\nPropose improvement plans, then break them down and sequence their execution (migrations, refactors, hardening) without disrupting production.\n\nAbout you\nMust-have\nCloud architecture:Proven experience designing public cloud platforms, ideally on GCP. Strong AWS expertise welcome with a willingness to ramp up on GCP.\n\nPlatform evolution:Ability to audit existing systems, prioritize improvements and deliver changes incrementally.\n\nInfrastructure: Hands-on production experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Linux and cloud networking.\n\nDevOps & CI/CD:Hands-on GitOps and CI/CD expertise, including progressive rollouts and GitLab administration (GitHub also welcome).\n\nSecurity-first mindset:Solid knowledge of IAM, least privilege, secrets management, encryption and vulnerability management.\n\nProduction ownership:Ability to participate confidently in on-call rotations.\n\nProfessional English:Ability to collaborate and document effectively in English.\n\nClear communication: Explain architectural choices and trade-offs to technical and non-technical teams, and document decisions, runbooks and standards.\n\nAutonomy & impact: Take ownership, focus on results and navigate ambiguity and legacy systems confidently.\n\nCollaborative mindset: Work effectively across software, quantum research and hardware teams; propose, challenge constructively and build consensus.\n\nTeam development: Help others grow through reviews, pairing and knowledge sharing, without formal management responsibility.\n\nNice-to-have\nService mesh (Istio), external-dns, Grafana/LGTM observability stack, Cloud Armor.\n\nExperience with regulated or audited environments (SOC2, ISO 27001, NCA CCC/ECC).\n\nMulti-region or sovereign-cloud deployments.\n\nExposure to HPC and SLURM scheduling.\n\nKubernetes certifications (CKA, CKS).\n\nExperience with data engineering architectures.\n\nWhat we offer\nWorking on a deep tech product mixing hardware and software\n\nDedicated budget and time for conferences\n\nOffices in Paris and Massy\n\nRecruitment process\n30min interview with Technical Acquisiton Partner\n\n1h Hiring Manager interview with the Lead of Ops - experience, scope, ways of working\n\n1h30 Technical interview with the Ops team - architecture case study: review an existing platform, spot the blockers, propose and sequence a plan\n\n45min VP Software platform interview\n\nPASQAL is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, as inclusion and diversity are essential to achieving our mission. We encourage applications from all qualified candidates, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, religion or sexual orientation.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4358,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Hardware","Science & Engineering","Quantum Science & Computing","Quantum Computing Hardware"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T03:13:05Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":65,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.863,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":18,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/pasqal-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-hfx","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/pasqal-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-hfx.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T02:32:34Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3351,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2531},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2531"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpasqal-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-hfx"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpasqal-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-hfx"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpasqal-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-hfx"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/pasqal-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-hfx\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpasqal-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-hfx"}]}
