DevOps Engineer

Quantum Computing (QC) is poised to become the next major business disruption technology.

Gartner predicts that by 2023, 20% of organizations will be budgeting for quantum

computing projects, compared to less than 1% in 2019.

BCG estimates that quantum computing could create value of $450 billion to $850 billion

in the next 15 to 30 years. Value of $5 billion to $10 billion could start accruing to users and

providers as soon as the next three to five years.

The QC ecosystem has seen exponential growth in funding, and our hardware partners have

achieved impressive records in qubit development. Now is the right time to jump into this

disruptive technology and become the worlds first(s) to develop useful and performant

quantum computing software.

QC Ware will add an experienced DevOps Engineer to our team, based in Palo Alto or hybrid.

No advance knowledge of quantum computing or quantum theory is necessary to apply for this

position!
