About IonQ

IonQ delivers trapped ion quantum computing systems, cloud access, and enterprise solutions for real-world quantum applications. Backed by NEA, SoftBank VF and GV.

About the role

At scale, quantum computers will be integrated into classical datacenters — combining the unique strengths of CPUs, GPUs, and QPUs will help us solve the world’s hardest problems. We’re building a cloud service that lets customers combine quantum and classical computation seamlessly, where the classical can be either general-purpose or high-performance computing (HPC).

What they're looking for

  • Lead the design and delivery of our Hosted Hybrid Service, partnering closely with product management to define the product and validate it
  • Define the execution model for the hybrid service — how quantum-classical workloads are defined, how they can be extended, and how customers specify HPC computation when it’s needed
  • Drive the infrastructure strategy for the classical compute — both HPC and non-HPC — that backs hybrid jobs, in partnership with our cloud infrastructure team
  • Build and maintain a library of reusable quantum workloads for customers and internal teams to build on
  • Establish best practices for code development, quality assurance, documentation, and continuous integration and deployment
  • Collaborate across HPC, Cloud, and Product teams, and communicate with executive leadership
