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
Compute Platform turns quantum capability into quantum utility by building the APIs, cloud infrastructure, developer tools, and application layer that connect IonQ's QPUs to users. Without it, powerful hardware goes nowhere.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years managing technical programs and delivering against aggressive timelines
- Track record leading technical teams through genuine ambiguity, not just executing a defined plan
- Experience in developer tools, SDKs, compilers, or adjacent platform software
- A habit of turning diffuse problems into specific, minimal, assignable asks
- Technical fluency to engage engineering leads directly on scoping and tradeoffs, and comfort reading and reasoning about code
- Willingness to re-baseline against reality rather than defend dates that have stopped being true, and the judgment to tell a target that motivates from one that just generates fiction
