Zusammenfassung

PASQAL seeks a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, harden and run the PASQAL Cloud Platform. You will own our public cloud architecture (GCP), with a focus on multi-region resilience and cost control, collaborating with a small Ops team in a high-growth quantum tech context.

You will lead governance, deployment automation, and production readiness, while strengthening monitoring and incident response.

Qualifikationen

• Cloud architecture: Proven experience designing public cloud platforms, ideally on GCP.
• Platform evolution: Audit existing systems and deliver changes incrementally.
• Infrastructure: Hands-on with Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Linux and cloud networking.
• DevOps & CI/CD: GitOps and CI/CD expertise, including GitLab administration.
• Security-first mindset: IAM, least privilege, secrets management, encryption.
• Production ownership: Comfortable participating in on-call rotations.
• Professional English: Able to collaborate and document effectively in English.
• Nice-to-have capabilities: service mesh, regulated environments, multi-region deployments, HPC SLURM exposure, Kubernetes certs, data engineering.

Aufgaben

• Improve and operate our platform with GCP: networking, IAM, multi-region and cost control.
• Define governance rules, infrastructure standards and golden paths, and get teams to adopt them.
• Support deployment automation, provisioning and production readiness.
• Strengthen monitoring, alerting and incident response; participate in on-call.
• Operate, configure and secure GitLab CI/CD, runners, secrets handling and supply-chain hardening.
• Propose improvement plans and sequence their execution without disrupting production.

Jobbeschreibung

About Pasqal

We are building an APAC team of quantum enthusiasts dedicated to promoting PASQAL technology and educating the market on the power of neutral atom quantum computing.

We are looking for a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, harden and operate the infrastructure behind PASQAL Cloud Platform. You will take ownership of our public cloud architecture (mainly GCP), understand the existing platform in depth. You will be expected to propose and execute a sequenced improvement roadmap - in close alignment with the Infrastructure Engineering Manager, to whom you will report.

PASQAL Cloud is the managed service through which customers submit quantum jobs to our emulators and QPUs. It runs on Kubernetes across several regional platforms (Europe, Middle East).

This is a senior individual-contributor role with design responsibility, inside a small Ops team. You will work primarily on the cloud infrastructure but will also occasionally contribute HPC cluster resources which are used for emulation purposes.

Job description

• Improve and operate our platform with GCP: networking (VPC, load balancing, DNS, firewall policies, WAF), identity (IAM, OIDC, workload identity), multi-region and multi-tenant concerns, resilience and cost control.

• Define and document governance rules, infrastructure standards and golden paths (versioned modules, review rules, guardrails), and get them adopted by the teams that use them.

• Support software engineering teams on deployment automation, environment provisioning and production readiness — you are an enabler, not a ticket queue.

• Strengthen monitoring, alerting and incident response; take part in on-call and turn incidents into durable fixes.

• Operate, configure and secure infrastructure related GitLab configuration : CI/CD design, runners, permissions, secrets handling, supply-chain and instance hardening.

• Propose improvement plans, then break them down and sequence their execution (migrations, refactors, hardening) without disrupting production.

About you

Must-have

• Cloud architecture: Proven experience designing public cloud platforms, ideally on GCP. Strong AWS expertise welcome with a willingness to ramp up on GCP.

• Platform evolution: Ability to audit existing systems, prioritize improvements and deliver changes incrementally.

• Infrastructure: Hands-on production experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Linux and cloud networking.

• DevOps & CI/CD: Hands-on GitOps and CI/CD expertise, including progressive rollouts and GitLab administration (GitHub also welcome).

• Security-first mindset: Solid knowledge of IAM, least privilege, secrets management, encryption and vulnerability management.

• Production ownership: Comfortable participating in on-call rotations.

• Professional English: Able to collaborate and document effectively in English.

Nice-to-have

• Service mesh (Istio), external-dns, Grafana/LGTM observability stack, Cloud Armor.

• Experience with regulated or audited environments (SOC2, ISO 27001, NCA CCC/ECC).

• Multi-region or sovereign-cloud deployments.

• Exposure to HPC and SLURM scheduling.

• Kubernetes certifications (CKA, CKS).

• Experience with data engineering architectures.

Soft skills

• Clear communication: Explain architectural choices and trade-offs to technical and non-technical teams, and document decisions, runbooks and standards.

• Autonomy & impact: Take ownership, focus on results and navigate ambiguity and legacy systems confidently.

• Collaborative mindset: Work effectively across software, quantum research and hardware teams; propose, challenge constructively and build consensus.

• Team development: Help others grow through reviews, pairing and knowledge sharing, without formal management responsibility.

What we offer

• Working on a deep tech product mixing hardware and software

• Dedicated budget and time for conferences

• Offices in Paris and Massy

Recruitment process

• 30min interview with Technical Acquisiton Partner

• 1h Hiring Manager interview with the Lead of Ops — experience, scope, ways of working

• 1h30 Technical interview with the Ops team — architecture case study: review an existing platform, spot the blockers, propose and sequence a plan

• 45min VP Software platform interview
