About Qblox
Qblox is a deep-tech scaleup whose mission is to accelerate the worldwide race towards scalable quantum computers. We do this by providing some of the world's most advanced quantum control stacks to laboratories and quantum startups across the globe.
Our hardware and software sit right next to the quantum chips, giving experimentalists precise control and readout of their qubits. Through our open-source interfaces qblox-scheduler and qblox-instruments, users can write and execute experiments and algorithms using Python – from defining quantum circuits to compiling down to our quantum assembly, Q1ASM.
We offer a dynamic environment where engineering meets cutting-edge physics research.
About the role
You'll join a growing DevOps team that spans FPGA, embedded systems, and high-level software — and you'll be hands-on from day one. The team is responsible for CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and helping engineering teams across Qblox adopt modern DevOps practices. There's a large backlog to tackle and real scope to shape how things are done.
This is a technical role with a broad remit. You'll spend most of your time building and maintaining pipelines and infrastructure, but you'll also be the person who helps other teams work better — improving how software is built, tested, and delivered.
What you will do
● Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for FPGA, embedded, and software projects
● Automate build, test, and deployment workflows to reduce manual effort and improve
reliability
● Improve infrastructure reliability, scalability, and monitoring
● Work with our current tooling: Podman, Ansible, Terraform, GCP, libvirt + QEMU (KVM)
● Define and apply secure DevOps practices and contribute to compliance frameworks
● Integrate governance and change control into fast-paced development workflows
● Partner with engineering teams to drive adoption of DevOps practices and continuous
improvement
● Contribute to backlog management and help define ways of working as the team scales
What we're looking for
● 3+ years of experience in a DevOps or infrastructure engineering role
● Strong background in CI/CD pipeline design, build automation, and deployment workflows
● Hands-on experience with containerisation and orchestration tooling (Podman, Docker, or similar)
● Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Ansible or Terraform
● Cloud platform experience, preferably GCP
● Solid understanding of Linux environments and scripting
● Working knowledge of security, compliance, and governance practices in DevOps contexts
● Strong communication skills and a service-oriented mindset — you're as comfortable helping a team unblock as you are fixing infrastructure
Nice-to-haves
● Experience with virtualisation tooling such as libvirt, QEMU, or KVM
● Familiarity with FPGA toolchains and embedded development workflows
● Experience driving DevOps adoption or cultural change within engineering teams
● Background in a high-tech, R&D-driven startup or scaleup (semiconductor, hardware, scientific instrumentation)
