Automation and Infrastructure Engineer - OSS Tooling (Hybrid)

Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere.

At Xanadu, we are learners, innovators, researchers, collaborators, and problem solvers. We are creating something that has never been built before. What we are doing is extremely hard, the classic moon shot. Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this, where if we are successful, the technologies we develop will solve some of the world’s most challenging problems and literally change the world. And that is something to be excited about!

Your Role and Responsibilities:

As an Automation and Infrastructure Engineer, you will contribute to the platform and the infrastructure for our software and hardware products. You will work on a team to support Open Source Software R&D, Cloud Infrastructure, and Developer Enablement.
