IonQ is seeking a Senior HPC Platform Engineer to join its Infrastructure Team. The role focuses on designing, developing, and supporting the internal high-performance computing platform that enables IonQ's quantum computing research, engineering, and application development.
Key responsibilities include:
• Design and develop a comprehensive HPC software platform supporting quantum computing research, engineering, control, and application development workflows
• Build user-facing web applications and self-service tooling enabling researchers to discover, access, and execute work across interactive development, batch jobs, and CI/CD pipelines on both on-premises and cloud systems
• Develop operational tooling and services for the Infrastructure team, including telemetry and observability pipelines, SLO dashboards, and automation for system provisioning and management
• Write well-tested, maintainable code and participate in design and code reviews, helping shape the platform's architecture and engineering practices as the team scales
• Provide technical support to internal researchers and software developers running computationally intensive workloads
The Infrastructure Team is growing, and this early-stage role offers significant opportunity to influence platform architecture and establish engineering best practices. You'll work closely with researchers and developers across IonQ, directly accelerating scientific computing and quantum advancement.
