Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Lead design and customer engagements to make networks quantum-safe: inventory cryptography, design migration paths to PQC and hybrid key exchange, run proofs-of-concept (including QKD where relevant), produce reference architectures and playbooks, influence standards, and provide technical authority across sales, product, and engineering.

Design visual narratives for investor presentations, financial conferences, investor days, and Board materials. Translate complex financial and technical information into clear data visualizations and persuasive presentations. Collaborate with the CFO, Investor Relations, brand teams, and senior executives while maintaining templates, chart libraries, and design systems. Support event assets across digital and print channels, apply AI-forward design practices, and handle confidential information with discretion.

Develop and scale selected reseller, distributor, systems integrator, telecommunications, hyperscaler, and consulting partnerships across the Americas. Lead partner strategy, co-selling, customer qualification, solution development, negotiations, pipeline forecasting, and commercialization of IonQ’s quantum portfolio. Build lighthouse engagements into referenceable wins, repeatable sales motions, and scalable channels while coordinating regional sales, global alliance, engineering, marketing, and program teams.

Owns IonQ’s sales strategy and account relationships across state, local, and academic institutions in the Northwest. Responsibilities include developing executive relationships, identifying opportunities, building quantum technology sales pipelines, qualifying deals, creating proposals, negotiating agreements, closing business, and supporting customer satisfaction. The role requires extensive quota-carrying technology sales experience in the SLED market and familiarity with emerging technologies such as quantum computing and AI/ML.

Own global alliances with selected advisory and consulting partners, including joint business plans, executive relationships, co-selling, pipeline, forecasting, and commercial outcomes. Lead customer discovery and solution development across quantum computing, networking, security, sensing, and space. Coordinate global and regional teams, build partner capabilities, secure referenceable wins, and convert early engagements into repeatable sales motions, playbooks, and scalable revenue channels.

Leads IonQ’s transactions function, drafting and negotiating complex commercial, technology, IP, regulatory, supply chain, partnership, and government agreements. Develops contract templates, playbooks, processes, and risk frameworks; partners with business and legal teams; manages high-volume transactional work; oversees attorney workloads and training; and serves as senior escalation counsel for complex matters. The role requires strong business judgment, negotiation, stakeholder management, legal-function improvement, and autonomy in a fast-paced environment.

Leads cross-functional technical programs across IonQ’s application platform, developer tools, and compiler roadmap. Translates technical vision into milestones, manages dependencies and risks, maintains planning and tracking systems, exposes technical debt and operational work, and reports data-driven status to senior leadership. The role supports approximately 40 engineers across four teams and requires navigating ambiguity, technical tradeoffs, staffing, customer-facing work, and AI-driven program-management workflows.

Design and integrate complex quantum processing unit chips from requirements through layout and tape-out. Responsibilities include multilayer chip layout, metal-track routing, photonics and CMOS interfaces, specification development with scientists, cross-team feasibility coordination, and independent project ownership. The role requires hands-on IC layout expertise and experience guiding designs into production, with preferred experience in scripted GDSFactory/Python layout generation, Cadence, ion-trap design, photonics, or IC packaging.

Lead the architecture and roadmap for IonQ’s secure software factory. Build and operate production-scale CI/CD platforms, infrastructure-as-code modules, release pipelines, security scanning, dependency management, SBOM and provenance systems, and internal developer platforms. Drive vulnerability remediation, compliance evidence, hybrid infrastructure operations, and agentic automation with appropriate guardrails. Mentor engineers, establish standards, and align Architecture, SRE, Cloud Operations, and Product Development around secure, self-service delivery.

Partners with IonQ leaders on financial analysis, strategic planning, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, spending controls, and company-wide initiatives. The role supports cross-functional decision-making, improves planning systems, and contributes to investor relations and corporate development activities. It requires strong financial modeling, communication, and analytical skills, with a focus on a rapidly growing quantum technology business.
