Infrastructure Manager

About the Role

Rigetti is seeking a Software Infrastructure Manager to lead the team responsible for building and operating the software infrastructure that powers our quantum computing platform.

You will sit at the intersection of cloud systems, on-prem laboratory infrastructure, and semiconductor fabrication environments, supporting both internal research systems and the infrastructure behind Rigetti’s quantum cloud platform.

This role comes at a critical moment for the company. Rigetti is transitioning from primarily offering quantum computing as a cloud service toward deploying quantum devices in external environments, which requires evolving our infrastructure architecture to support hybrid deployments across cloud and on-prem environments. At the same time, the company is maturing operationally, introducing stronger operational processes, security and compliance frameworks, and greater reliability in production systems.

The Infrastructure Manager will lead a small but highly capable team, helping bring greater structure, resilience, and coordination to the infrastructure organization while ensuring the platform continues to scale alongside the company’s growth.

Rigetti’s environment is technically complex, combining cloud-native systems with specialized quantum hardware and semiconductor fabrication equipment, making infrastructure work both challenging and highly interdisciplinary.

• Experience leading or managing Infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE teams

• Experience building infrastructure in startup or rapidly evolving environments

• Strong hands-on experience with modern infrastructure stacks including:

• AWS or other major cloud providers

• Kubernetes and containerized workloads

• Infrastructure automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, etc.)

• Experience supporting production distributed systems

• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across highly technical teams
  

As engineering leaders, we value diversity and are committed to building a culture of inclusion to attract and engage innovative thinkers. Our technology, meant to serve all of humanity, cannot succeed if those who built it do not mirror the diversity of the communities we serve. Applications from women, minorities, and other under-represented groups are encouraged.
