Jobs at IonQ

Lead architecture and roadmap for the software-factory: build and operate CI/CD pipelines, embed security and policy into delivery, manage releases and dependencies, author and test IaC, run vulnerability and compliance operations, build internal developer self-service platforms, automate with agentic workflows, and mentor engineering teams to scale secure, automated delivery.

Lead architecture and roadmap for the software-factory (CI/CD) to enable secure, automated delivery. Build and operate pipeline platforms, IaC modules, dependency and supply-chain security (SBOM, signing), release governance, vulnerability scanning and closure, secrets and identity operations, and agentic automation. Mentor teams and align cross-functional groups to scale developer self-service and secure delivery.

Owner of backend services for a network and security platform: build high-throughput telemetry ingestion, time-series storage, real-time processing, and APIs. Implement event streaming, cloud-native deployments (Kubernetes, Terraform), observability (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus), and operational reliability including on-call and incident response. Translate architecture into production-grade code (Go/Rust), mentor engineers, and drive cross-team technical decisions.
