IT Engineer

As a member of our small and mighty IT team, you’ll wear many hats and experience a broad range of needs within a rapidly maturing Quantum Computing company. Our people are quite compute literate so you’ll find that the support needed is at a higher level that requires comfort and skill with eliciting requirements, self-motivation to ‘go to’ the customer versus sitting behind a help desk ticketing system, and desire to learn about the customer's work and workflow in order to provide the best solutions. There are no limits at Rigetti; we are happy for you to learn and grow as fast as you desire! 

Key Responsibilities

Primary Responsibilities Will Be Related to Help-Desk

• We are ever-more focused on cybersecurity. We need help monitoring and responding to cybersecurity alerts, ensuring compliance with security protocols.

• Inventory management, refresh cycles, maintaining a set of standards.
• You will get exposed to supporting researchers and engineers by maintaining lab IT infrastructure and workstations.

You'll Model a Solutions-Oriented Mindset for Rigetti

• From onboarding to servicing, and finally offboarding, you play a key role in enabling our people and solving their workflow needs. 
• Some of our key service apps include: Google, MS Office, Jamf, Intune, Crowdstrike, AD on-prem, Atlassian to name a few. 
• We’ll look for you to stay continually updated on the capabilities of the tools, and to have the curiosity and interest to explore new solutions that might be advantageous for us.

• Good communication and documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in research, scientific, or quantum computing environments.

As engineering leaders, we value diversity and are committed to building a culture of inclusion to attract and engage innovative thinkers. Our technology, meant to serve all of humanity, cannot succeed if those who built it do not mirror the diversity of the communities we serve. Applications from women, minorities, and other under-represented groups are encouraged.
