Senior Cloud Architect (AWS)

Job Description

Job Description

At Quantum Circuits Inc., we are building the world’s first truly algorithmic quantum computers to achieve transformational computing capabilities. Our full-stack quantum computing platform uses dual-rail superconducting devices along with a modular, robust, and scalable architecture. Our unique approach is based on a decade of technology research and breakthroughs at Yale University's world-renowned quantum labs.

We are seeking a highly skilled and self-motivated Senior Cloud Architect to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate has a strong background in leading the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of our cloud infrastructure. This is a senior, hands-on role ideal for a systems thinker who can architect complex distributed systems, guide modernization efforts, and contribute directly to high-priority cloud initiatives.

Our cloud-based applications frequently interface with specialized hardware platforms, including embedded systems and scientific instrumentation, and support a range of data-intensive workloads. While direct experience with these systems isn't required, a strong conceptual understanding of Linux internals, embedded environments, or FPGA-based architectures will enable you to architect more effective, integrated solutions. You'll be expected to work independently, lead projects from concept through delivery, and collaborate cross-functionally to align technical solutions with organizational objectives.

Responsibilities / Description :

• Design and implement secure, scalable, and maintainable cloud architectures to support a variety of internal applications and workflows.
• Continuously assess and improve existing systems to reduce complexity, boost performance, and increase reliability.
• Lead full lifecycle delivery of technical initiatives — from design through hands-on implementation, documentation, and internal knowledge transfer.
• Define and enforce cloud security, observability, and operational readiness best practices across environments.
• Translate complex technical and business requirements into cloud-native, scalable solutions.
• Understand CI / CD pipelines, Docker-based containerization (or comparable technologies), and infrastructure automation; able to collaborate with DevOps engineers, identify opportunities for improvement, and contribute directly when needed.
• Contribute to Python-based tools, infrastructure code, or reference implementations that support architectural goals.
