Infleqtion is on a mission to commercialize atom-based quantum technologies that deliver orders-of-magnitude improvements in sensing and computing applications. We are seeking self-motivated, energetic individuals with exceptional problem-solving and technical skills to help drive our Quantum Computing mission forward.
At Infleqtion we embrace a startup mentality driven by results, urgency, and customer-focused innovation:
This is a highly technical, hands-on role supporting cutting-edge quantum computing systems, where requirements evolve quickly and the "right" solution is not always obvious at the outset. You'll be working in an environment that spans on-prem infrastructure, lab and scientific equipment, embedded systems, and production software, often simultaneously.
We're looking for engineers who are comfortable operating in uncertainty, who enjoy solving concrete problems, and who can help evolve systems from early solutions into robust, production-quality platforms over time. We're open to candidates with different experience levels; strong fundamentals, curiosity, and the ability to learn quickly matter more than having every skill listed.
Job Responsibilities
Our work sits on the bleeding edge of technology. We often start with incomplete requirements and evolving constraints, especially when supporting new quantum hardware and control systems. We prioritize making progress with sound engineering judgment, then strengthening and refining solutions as systems stabilize and scale.
This role rewards engineers who are comfortable choosing practical tools, adapting quickly, and improving systems incrementally rather than waiting for a perfect design.
How We Work
Boulder, CO

Please note that any offer for employment may be conditioned on authorization to receive software or technology controlled under these U.S. export control laws and regulations without sponsorship for an export license.
Benefits
The targeted salary range for this role is $135,000 to $155,000 on an annualized basis plus eligibility to participate in our annual incentive plan.

At Infleqtion we embrace a startup mentality driven by results, urgency, and customer-focused innovation:
- We break down barriers between disciplines, stepping in wherever we can make the biggest impact
- We thrive in uncertainty, embracing challenges as opportunities
- We move quickly to prototype while never losing sight of the critical importance of systems engineering process and attention to detail
- We take bold, calculated risks to drive progress

- Develop and maintain automation for provisioning, configuration, testing, and deployment
- Apply infrastructure-as-code and configuration management practices
- Support and integrate networked lab equipment, IoT-style devices, and specialized hardware
- Collaborate across disciplines to support testing, deployment, and operational workflows
- Participate in incident response and help drive iterative reliability and operability improvements
- Incorporate security, hardening, and operational best practices as systems mature
