Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) is at the forefront of global efforts to build the world’s first commercial-scale quantum computer, while delivering quantum-enhanced AI and simulation products to customers today.
Backed by over 25 years of technological excellence, SQC is a full-stack quantum computing company that leverages its proprietary manufacturing process to engineer atomic qubits in silicon with 0.13 nanometer precision. It is the most precise semiconductor manufacturing in the world, enabling systems with world-leading algorithmic fidelity, and a decisive advantage in the global quantum computing race.
Our products are commercially deployed and generating revenue. Watermelon, our quantum-enhanced AI system, is delivering superior results on real-world problems across energy, telecom and finance. Quantum Twins, our simulation platform, provides unparalleled ability to model quantum systems, accelerating molecule and materials discovery.
This is SQC: building the future of computing while delivering quantum impact today.
We are hiring a Platform Engineer to own monitoring and telemetry in Platform & Infrastructure. The scope is everything the team runs: the Kubernetes clusters from small local sites to the central cluster, Ceph storage, core network services, the HPC and simulation environments, the quantum runtime cluster and its FPGA mesh, our AWS footprint, and the cluster that ships with each quantum computer.
The workloads are not a web estate. An FPGA synthesis run takes hours and holds a licence while it does. A simulation job may need to be reproducible years later. The realtime control plane cares about microsecond jitter rather than request percentiles. A physicist will want to correlate a device measurement with a calibration run and a cluster event, so telemetry from unrelated systems has to be joinable.
Compute is on-premise and finite. Utilisation numbers decide where the next hardware spend goes and which team is under-served, so they end up in procurement and scheduling decisions. You own the platform and set the practice: the conventions other teams instrument against, and alerting an on-call engineer acts on without checking it twice.
Based at our Sydney facility, you will work alongside the platform and infrastructure engineers who run the estate, and with the research teams instrumenting their own work. This is a role for someone who wants observability to carry real decisions, and who would rather retire a noisy alert than tune it out.

Nice to have
SQC is an equal opportunity employer. We value diverse perspectives and experiences, and encourage applications from candidates who may not meet every listed requirement. If you’re excited about the role and believe you can contribute, we encourage you to apply.
This position may require access to export-controlled information or technology. Employment may be subject to applicable export control laws and may require eligibility assessment based on factors such as nationality, citizenship, or residency, and, where necessary, obtaining relevant export licenses or approvals.
SQC was founded by renowned physicist and materials scientist Michelle Simmons, who pioneered the field of atomic electronics, including the development of the world’s first single-atom transistor and the first integrated circuit built with atomic precision. Our Chair, Simon Segars, former CEO of Arm, is a leader in the semiconductor industry and was instrumental in developing the processors that powered the mobile computing revolution.
As a full-stack company with in-house QPU manufacturing, SQC can design, produce and test new quantum chips in under a week, enabling rapid iteration and a decisive advantage in the race to build the world’s first commercial-scale quantum computer.
SQC is a high-accountability environment built on a simple principle: Every Atom Counts. If you’re looking to play a meaningful role in building the next frontier of computing, we’d love to hear from you.
