Job description

Equal1 is building silicon-based quantum computers, integrating spin qubits and cryo-CMOS control electronics on standard semiconductor processes. We are looking for a DevOps / Platform Engineer to join our team in Timișoara and build infrastructure for the whole company, across all our sites, with a focus on our full-stack software framework and our measurement activities. You will work closely with our IT Manager from day one. Over time, the role will also support our SoC / hardware modeling team.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

  • Own CI/CD, build and release pipelines for the quantum software stack (Python, C/C++), including simulator and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
  • Automate the flow of data from lab instruments and measurement setups into central storage, with experiment tracking and traceability.
  • Design data infrastructure that scales across sites: storage, backup, retention and access policies.
  • Manage lab and engineering compute as code, and run observability (logging, metrics, alerting) for internal services.
  • Progressively support the SoC / HW modeling team with simulation compute, job scheduling, license servers and regression pipelines.
  • Evaluate and, if pursued, build GPU infrastructure for ML / LLM training and serving.
  • Work with the IT Manager on identity, networking, security and cloud accounts, so DevOps and IT form one coherent setup.

Experience and Qualifications

Required:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field.
  • 4+ years of experience in DevOps, platform, SRE or build/release engineering.
  • Strong Linux administration and scripting skills (Bash, Python).
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins), Docker and Kubernetes or similar.
  • Infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible) across on-premises and cloud (AWS, Azure or GCP).
  • Solid networking and security fundamentals.
  • Fluent English and the ability to work with physicists, hardware and software engineers.

Desired:

  • Experience with HPC, EDA or scientific computing environments (Slurm, license servers).
  • Lab automation or data acquisition (QCoDeS, PyVISA) and experiment tracking (ClearML, MLflow).
  • Data engineering (object storage, HDF5/Parquet, PostgreSQL) or GPU / ML infrastructure.

If you want to build the platform behind a quantum computer from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.

Why work at Equal1

  • Work Environment: "Hybrid by default" — employees work across offices in Ireland, Netherlands, US, Canada, and Romania
  • Culture: Rated 5.0/5.0 on employer review sites (Work-Life: 5.0, Compensation: 5.0, Culture: 5.0, Career: 5.0)
  • Team: Small (~38 people), highly technical (26% technical, 15% research), with talent from Intel (5 alumni), University College Dublin (7), TNO, Qualcomm, and Movidius
  • Impact: You'd be building deployable quantum infrastructure that's already shipping — not just doing research
  • Career Growth: Open roles include VP of Quantum Software Engineering, Quantum Error Correction Lead, Senior Verification Engineer, Spin Qubit Calibration Engineer — indicating serious scaling of the engineering team
  • Notable: Employees have gone on to Stanford, PsiQuantum, Qualcomm — showing the team is deeply embedded in the quantum ecosystem
