## About the role

We are looking for a Staff DevOps Engineer to join our Quantum Platform Network Security Engineering Team. The Platform Engineering team builds, secures, and operates scalable infrastructure for cloud-managed SaaS products with on-premises components deployed at customer sites. The DevOps discipline owns the "software factory" — the end-to-end system that takes code from commit to production securely, reliably, and fast, with security embedded into every stage.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of production engineering experience with recent hands-on work
- Hands-on, recent experience building and operating CI/CD pipeline platforms at production scale
- Security embedded into pipelines as a practitioner — has personally configured scanning and driven a real vulnerability to closure within a deadline
- Infrastructure-as-Code authored and tested, with production modules to show, not only consumed
- Demonstrated ownership of release, dependency, or vulnerability-management outcomes with measurable results
- Scripting and automation fluency, with a clear bias toward removing manual toil
