Manager, IT Infrastructure

Quantum computing holds the promise of humanity’s mastery over the natural world, but only if we can build a real quantum computer. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first real, useful quantum computers, capable of delivering the world-changing applications that the technology has long promised. We know that means we will need to build a system with roughly 1 million qubits that supports fault tolerant error correction within a scalable architecture, and a data center footprint.

By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over today’s most powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more.

PsiQuantum has determined the fastest path to delivering a useful quantum computer, years earlier than the rest of the industry. Our architecture is based on silicon photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components at Tier-1 semiconductor fabs such as GlobalFoundries where we leverage high-volume semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that are already producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. We also benefit from the quantum mechanics reality that photons don’t feel heat or electromagnetic interference, allowing us to take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems and industry standard fiber connectivity.

In 2024, PsiQuantum announced two government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first Quantum Data Centers and utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia and Chicago, Illinois. Both projects are backed by nations that understand quantum computing’s potential impact and the need to scale this technology to unlock that potential. And we won’t just be building the hardware, but also the fault tolerant quantum applications that will provide industry-transforming results.

Quantum computing is not just an evolution of the decades-old advancement in compute power. It provides the key to mastering our future, not merely discovering it. The potential is enormous, and we have the plan to make it real. Come join us.

There’s much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!

• Partner cross-functionally to identify and address organizational objectives.
• Lead cross-functional projects in network modernization, hybrid-cloud integration, and zero-trust initiatives.
• Represent IT Infrastructure in strategic planning meetings, audits, compliance assessments, and executive reviews. 

Operational Governance 

• Own lifecycle and vendor management for infrastructure assets.
• Manage infrastructure budgets, procurement cycles, and SLA compliance for third-party vendors and MSPs.
• Maintain inventory accuracy and lead the enforcement of configuration baselines and asset hygiene. 

Team Leadership 

• Lead, coach, and grow a high-performing team of infrastructure engineers and support technicians across regions.
• Foster a high-trust, execution-driven team culture with clear ownership and accountability.
• Define operational KPIs and ensure team alignment with infrastructure and security goals. 

Experience/Qualifications:

• 7+ years of progressive experience in IT infrastructure, with 3+ years in leadership capacity, managing distributed teams.
• Strong enforcement background in network security, data center resilience, SIEM/SOC collaboration, and incident command.
• Expertise in hybrid cloud infrastructure, virtualization, and backup/recovery technologies.
• Hands-on experience managing enterprise firewalls (e.g., Palo Alto, Fortinet), IDS/IPS, and endpoint management platforms.
• Deep understanding of regulatory and security frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, CMMC).
• Proven ability to enforce technical standards and compliance across IT operations.
• Excellent organizational, troubleshooting, and communication skills, especially in high-stakes scenarios.
• Relevant certifications preferred (e.g., CISSP, CCNP, ITIL, CISM, AWS/Azure Certified).
