Overview Quantum Motion is a fast-growing quantum computing scale-up based in London founded by internationally renowned researchers from UCL and Oxford University with over 40 years' experience in developing qubits and quantum computing architectures.

Bringing together state‑of‑the‑art cryogenic facilities and an outstanding interdisciplinary team, we are developing quantum processors based on industrial‑grade silicon chips, with the potential to radically transform computing power in areas such as materials modelling, medicine, artificial intelligence and more.

Responsibilities The Cloud Engineering Team builds cloud‑based solutions, supports the cloud platform and helps to drive its adoption and expansion while also collaborating with other teams.

The primary function of this position will be to take responsibility for the successful development, management and maintenance of software services to ensure that the production services perform effectively, while maintaining a high level of internal customer satisfaction.

Develop, maintain, support, and optimise key functional areas, particularly internal applications and servers in a hybrid infrastructure.

Develop, troubleshoot and resolve software and process problems in a timely and effective fashion.

Design, provision and manage large‑scale, highly available cloud infrastructure platforms, optimizing for heavy compute workloads and high‑concurrency applications.

Implement and maintain modular Ia C (Terraform or Cloud Formation) to automate the provisioning of secure, low‑latency, and multi‑region cloud environments.

Architect and maintain high‑performance, high‑IOPS cloud storage solutions, ensuring seamless data synchronisation, backup strategies, and optimal throughput.

Automate the deployment, configuration, and auto‑scaling of workload orchestrators, container platforms, and core service components to ensure high resource utilisation and cost efficiency.

Enforce strict security protocols across all environments by implementing Zero Trust architectures, secure IAM roles, and automated configuration management (e. g., Ansible, Packer) for hardened OS images.

Provide expert‑level support for complex infrastructure and platform issues, documenting automated workflows and mentoring junior team members on cloud‑native best practices.

Proven track record of architecting, deploying, and maintaining production‑grade, highly scalable workloads on AWS.

Deep expertise in Terraform (preferred) and Cloud Formation for building modular, version‑controlled infrastructure environments.

Solid knowledge of high‑performance and distributed cloud storage solutions (e. g., Amazon FSx, EFS, EBS, Net App ONTAP).

Expert‑level proficiency with Enterprise Linux distributions (RHEL/…) Benefits As a Senior Dev Ops Engineer, you will bridge the gap between high‑level strategy and hands‑on execution, managing both cloud‑native services and physical on‑site infrastructure.

You will have opportunities to shape a new team within the company, contribute to scalable quantum computing based on silicon technology, and develop expertise in cutting‑edge cloud and hybrid infrastructure solutions. #J-18808-Ljbffr
