Job Specifications
Job Description: Senior Software Engineer, Cloud Platform (Infrastructure & Reliability)
Location: New York City, USA
Type: Full-time
Salary Range: $140000 - $160000
About our Client
They are pioneering the next era of media applications. Today, the creative vision of gaming and graphics studios is trapped by a computational bottleneck. They simply cannot build the hyper-realistic worlds, complex environmental effects, or perfect rendering their audience’s demand. It’s too expensive and, in many cases, computationally impossible on classical hardware.
To solve these challenges, they are building the quantum foundation for the Media & Entertainment industry. Their hardware-agnostic software platform unlocks the power of quantum computing for any creator. It enables tasks that were once science fiction: think perfect, atomic-level simulations of materials and fluid dynamics, generating entire universes with emergent NPC behaviours, or rendering light and materials with true quantum-level physics.
They aren't just building a tool; They're building the platform for the entire next generation of media. As a company operating at the forefront of technology and culture, they are a team of innovators across science, engineering, and creative design, working together to solve the problems that others accept as unassailable limitations.
If you are driven to build the technology that will define human culture for the next century, click apply.
The Role
They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to build and own the reliable, scalable, and secure cloud platform that their quantum engine runs on.
Your primary mission is to ensure their revolutionary quantum-classical platform is production-ready, testable, and robust. You will be responsible for the full application lifecycle—leading the design of our testing and quality assurance strategies and managing the deployment of applications across a complex, heterogeneous cloud environment (multi-cloud and on-prem).
This role is a perfect fit for an engineer who is passionate about infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and building bulletproof, large-scale systems. You will work closely with the Backend and Quantum Applications teams to ensure the infrastructure can support their compute-intensive workloads.
Key Responsibilities
Build Scalable Infrastructure: Design, develop, and deploy robust, scalable, and secure cloud infrastructure on multi-cloud platforms to support their quantum applications.
Lead Quality & Testing: Own the full testing strategy. Lead the development of comprehensive CI/CD pipelines, integration tests, and quality control processes to ensure the reliability of our complex hybrid quantum-classical workflows.
Manage Hybrid Cloud Environments: Integrate and manage our diverse and challenging heterogeneous cloud resources, including on-premises HPC systems and multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure), ensuring seamless operation.
Enable Production Deployment: Collaborate closely with the Backend and Quantum Applications teams to transform algorithms and platform features into production-ready, deployable, and monitorable services.
Optimize Performance & Reliability: Focus on performance optimization, bottleneck analysis, and efficiency for compute-intensive tasks to maximize infrastructure utilization and ensure high availability.
Qualifications
Must-Haves:
Proven experience as a Senior Software Engineer (Platform, SRE, or Cloud) with a track record of building, launching, and maintaining production-level cloud applications.
Deep expertise in software testing, continuous integration (CI/CD), and quality control methodologies. You believe that code isn't done until it's tested and deployable.
Strong experience managing complex, heterogeneous cloud resources and distributed systems (e.g., multi-cloud, on-prem, Kubernetes).
Proficiency in systems languages (C/C++, Rust, Java) and scripting (Python, SQL).
Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible).
You must be based in New York City and able to work from our NYC office.
Nice-to-Haves (Bonus Points):
Experience with High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments.
Familiarity with orchestration software such as Covalent.
Knowledge of quantum computing frameworks (e.g., Qiskit, Pennylane).
A passion for media, gaming, or creative technology.
Why Join our Client?
Define a New Category: You will be building the core infrastructure for an entirely new field: quantum-native media and entertainment.
Bleeding-Edge Tech: Work at the absolute forefront of quantum computing, gaining hands-on experience integrating with the world's most advanced quantum hardware.
A-Team Collaboration: Be part of a world-class, multi-disciplinary team, working directly with leading Quantum Researchers and creative Technologists from our Studios team.
Impact: The code you write will directly power the demos, pilots, and products that introduce the world to the power of quantum computing.
