We are looking to hire a Research Dev Ops Engineer to join our growing software team. You will work closely with our experimental and theoretical physics teams to enable their work characterizing, calibrating, and operating novel quantum devices. The ideal candidate will be able to translate high-level science requirements into Dev Ops deliverables (e.g. CI/CD scripts, hybrid infrastructure-as-code setups, standardized development environments, artifact repositories, etc.)

that are performant, scalable, and secure. This requires someone who (1) has a strong desire to work within a team of scientists and engineers, and (2) demonstrates ownership in initiating and driving projects to completion. As a Research Dev Ops Engineer, this role has a particular emphasis accelerating the research software development lifecycle at the AWS Center for Quantum Computing through automation, standardization, and managing hybrid (cloud + physical lab) infrastructure.
