Senior Infrastructure Engineer

Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world's hardest problems.

The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit. In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously

We are at the forefront of the quantum race, competing with tech giants such as Google or IBM, and we are growing fast after securing  €100 million of funding in 2025 to develop our unique technology.

Currently 100+ and counting, between physicists, PhD students, engineers and experienced business professionals, we are united to reach our ambitious goal. Are you a quantum pioneer? Join us on a mission to reshape the future

About the role:

We are looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to own the technical evolution of our hybrid infrastructure (on-premise/cloud). You will be the technical reference for architecture, design, and implementation of the company's infrastructure projects in the quantum computing field.

• Strategic projects: Lead high-impact projects such as:
• JupyterHub migration to Kubernetes for our data science workflows
• Internal cluster consolidation and optimization
• Scalability solutions for our growing quantum measurement resource requirements
• Time-stamping infrastructure evolution and improvements
• Docker → Kubernetes migration for legacy applications
• Infrastructure management: Implement and maintain servers supporting our quantum operations
• Observability: Complete the deployment of our monitoring stack (node-exporter, Grafana) across all infrastructure
• Innovation: Propose and implement solutions to support the company's rapid growth and evolving quantum computing needs
• Technical advisory: Support teams on infrastructure matters and drive continuous improvement

• OS: Mainly Linux (Ubuntu), a few Windows servers
• Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes (internal cluster)
• Infrastructure: Hybrid on-prem/cloud architecture
• Monitoring: Grafana, node-exporter, Prometheus
• IaC: Terraform, Ansible
• Development: Python widely used across the stack

• Solid experience (5+ years) in infrastructure and systems
• Core expertise: Linux (Ubuntu), system architecture, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes)
• Python (scripting, code understanding)
• JupyterHub (administration and deployment) - a real plus
• Designing scalable architectures for high-performance computing needs
• Hands-on experience operating and maintaining Kubernetes in production environments.
• Proficiency in Python, including scripting, automation, and the ability to understand and review application code.
• Experience with JupyterHub in administration and deployment; exposure to multi-user, scalable notebook environments is a strong plus.
• Proven ability to design and implement scalable architectures tailored to high-performance computing.
• Experience managing hybrid on-prem/cloud infrastructures
• Knowledge of infrastructure best practices (monitoring, high availability, security)
• Autonomy, pragmatism, and proactive mindset

• 25-day vacation policy (as per French law) + RTT
• Half of transportation cost coverage (as per French law), or yearly allowance for bike enthusiasts
• Competitive health benefits with Helium/AXA
• Meal vouchers with Swile, as well as access to a fully equipped kitchen
• Parental benefits with crèche support
• Flexible remote policy, up to 40 % a month
• Language courses covered by the company
• Mental health support with 
• Subsidized membership with Urban Sports Club

• Screening Call with Doriane (30 min)
• Technical Interview with the Team (60 min)
• Hiring Manager Interview with Matthew (45 min)
• Leadership Interview (60 min)
• Fit Interview (30 min)
