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
IonQ is building quantum computers at College Park, and the infrastructure underneath that work is a crucial component. A misconfigured VLAN or a failed provisioning job can stop a calibration run or delay a system build.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of experience in systems, network, or infrastructure engineering, with real hands-on time provisioning servers, not just managing a team that did
- Hands-on experience configuring and troubleshooting switches, firewalls, routers, and on-prem servers in a production environment, this is not a design-and-delegate role
- Direct experience configuring VLANs and managed-switch environments, including diagnosing and resolving a network problem yourself, without escalating to a dedicated network team
- Experience building or rebuilding a provisioning workflow using infrastructure-as-code or automation tooling (Ansible, Salt, Kickstart, Foreman, Cobbler, Packer, or equivalent)
- Experience integrating non-standard or custom hardware into a compute environment: a scientific instrument, a specialist peripheral, or a device with a custom driver
- Working knowledge of IPMI/BMC and out-of-band server management
