Role summary

Atom Computing is seeking a Manager, DevOps & Security Engineering to lead their team in Boulder, CO. This hybrid role involves hands-on technical work and team leadership, focusing on building, testing, deploying, and securing software across cloud, on-premises, and embedded environments. Responsibilities include managing CI/CD pipelines, build/deployment tooling, system reliability, monitoring, and security practices. The ideal candidate will have proven experience leading teams in complex infrastructure projects, expertise in Linux and hybrid cloud administration, and a strong background in security and monitoring systems.

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.
