About the role

At Maybell Quantum, we're redefining the future of computing. As a venture-backed quantum hardware innovator experiencing rapid growth, we build the cryogenic infrastructure that quantum computers run on — dilution refrigerators, cryogenic RF wiring, and the related systems used by quantum computing companies, national labs, and research institutions worldwide.

What they're looking for

  • Own and mature Maybell's security baseline across all three sites: endpoint protection, patch and vulnerability management, logging, backup and recovery, and periodic access reviews
  • Set the security architecture and technical standards for how our environment is built, and enforce them in practice
  • Prepare and maintain the security posture documentation that customers, insurers, and investors will ask for in diligence
  • Run security awareness training and phishing simulation, and build a culture where reporting is normal
  • Own physical site access security — badging and access control systems, visitor and escort procedures, and restricted-area controls for labs, server rooms, and the manufacturing floor across all three sites
  • Track and report on security metrics — coverage, patch latency, incident volume, and access review completion—and use them to prioritize

Quantum computers will be as transformative to the next 30 years as the internet was to the last 30—and our team is creating the hardware foundation to make this revolution possible.

Position Overview

We're seeking a hands-on IT & Security Lead to become Maybell's first dedicated security hire and the owner of our security program. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role with real architectural authority: you will decide how our environment is defended, and you will also be the person who implements it.

Security at Maybell is not a paper exercise. We are roughly 100 people (and growing) with the security complexity of a much larger company—multiples countries, a manufacturing floor, cryogenic and RF test labs, GDPR obligations, and engineering systems holding export-controlled technical data. That work currently runs...
