We are looking for a Senior Quantum Field Engineer. As a Senior Quantum Field Engineer, you’ll be part of a team whose mission is to lead IonQ on its journey to build the world’s best quantum solutions and solve the world’s most complex problems.  Field Engineering sits at the intersection of customers, markets, products and product teams, algorithms, applications, innovation and strategy - this is the team where ideas become applied and have impact.

Join a nimble team of scientists, engineers, salespeople, marketers, business developers, and product managers to drive an entirely new quantum computing business. We’re seeking versatile engineers and architects skilled in technical sales, technical demos and customer interactions who feel energized to deliver IonQ’s quantum computing products and quantum applications. 

Responsibilities:

• Inspire prospective clients by explaining IonQ’s strategy, portfolio and answering technical questions about quantum portfolio (compute, network, security, sensing and space) and quantum applications.
• Lead and shepherd client discussions, inspiring them to see how quantum applications can be implemented in their business domain.
• This includes working through business needs and mapping Quantum Algorithms (financial services, bioscience, chemistry and materials, optimization, generative AI, and other domains) into application code and executing Proof-of-Concepts together with the IonQ Application team.
• Share insights from clients with the IonQ Product Management and Engineering teams such that client feedback is incorporated into our products.
• Navigate competitive objection handling
• Translate business needs expressed by our clients into technical work projects in collaboration with other team members.
• Create assets to explain features of our quantum applications and other IonQ quantum products.
• Move dialogs from initial ideation to focused exploration domain through to proof-of-concept and ultimately into production workflows.
• Lead client discovery sessions for business oriented use cases that uncover potential overlap with development of useful quantum algorithms together with the IonQ Application team
• Partner with marketing, developer relations and business development to grow awareness of IonQ in the world at large.
• Attend industry conferences, as needed, to talk to client and support our booth activities.
• Some travel expected in the US (20%) but opportunities for global travel are available as well for client meeting and IonQ conference activities.
• This is a technical customer-facing role with the appropriate balance of compensation acceleration for success and a base salary to ensure that credibility and technical correctness always comes first.

You’d be a good fit with:

• 5 years of experience in technical customer-facing roles or equivalent capacity.  The ability to communicate (at the various context-appropriate levels of depth) and persuade clearly, have strong EQ, and other customer facings skills are critical.
• Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or other STEM field, such as Chemistry, Physics or Engineering
• Motivated learner with a strong interest in quantum computing.

You’d be a great fit with: 

• Masters or PhD in a STEM field, perhaps adjacent to quantum computing.

About the role

We’re looking for a fresh graduate or early-career AI Engineer on a builder track.

This role sits between software engineering and applied AI. You will build AI-powered features end-to-end: from turning a product problem into an AI approach, to building pipelines and evaluation, to shipping reliable services in production.

You’ll work with both classical ML and generative AI (LLMs, RAG, agents) where they make sense. With the rapid pace of AI, we care more about fundamentals than buzzwords. Use AI assistants to move faster, but always own correctness, privacy, safety, and user impact.

Your responsibilities

• Build AI products that ship
  • Design and implement AI-powered features and internal tools.
  • Integrate models into real systems (APIs, workflows, dashboards, and operational processes).
• Work with LLMs in a production-ready way
  • Build retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines: data sourcing, chunking, embeddings, retrieval, and prompt templates.
  • Build agent-style workflows when needed (tool use, guardrails, and deterministic fallbacks).
• Own evaluation and quality
  • Define what “good” means: success metrics, offline tests, and human-in-the-loop review.
  • Set up evaluations for quality, safety, latency, and cost.
• Make AI reliable and safe
  • Add observability: logging, tracing, and monitoring for quality regressions.
  • Implement privacy and security controls (PII handling, access control, redaction where needed).
  • Participate in incident response and postmortems when AI systems misbehave.
• Partner across teams
  • Work with product, data, design, and engineering stakeholders to translate messy problems into measurable solutions.
  • Collaborate with platform teams to use existing data pipelines, event streams, and AI tooling responsibly.
• Use AI tools thoughtfully
  • Use AI assistants for prototyping, debugging, and documentation.
  • Validate outputs, document assumptions, and protect sensitive data.

Your expertise (must have)

• Fresh graduate or < 1 year of relevant experience (internships and projects count).
• Solid programming fundamentals in Python (preferred) or another language used for backend services.
• Strong foundations in:
  • Software engineering basics (APIs, testing, reliability)
  • Data handling (SQL and/or dataframes)
  • ML/AI fundamentals (training vs. inference, evaluation, overfitting intuition)
• Clear communication and a collaborative approach.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with LLMs and/or RAG from projects (LangChain/LlamaIndex or similar patterns).
• Familiarity with model serving and deployment (REST/gRPC services, batch jobs, streaming consumers).
• Exposure to MLOps concepts (experiment tracking, model registry, monitoring).
• Familiarity with vector databases, search, or information retrieval.
• Understanding of responsible AI, privacy, and security (PII handling, access control, prompt injection awareness).
• Experience using AI assistants responsibly for coding and analysis.

What success looks like

• You ship at least one AI feature or internal tool that is used by real users.
• You set up a simple evaluation and monitoring loop so the system improves over time.
• Your solutions balance quality, latency, and cost, with clear tradeoffs.
• When the AI output is wrong or risky, you can debug, mitigate, and explain why.

All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and deploy AI, machine learning, and generative AI solutions.
• Build AI-powered tools such as chatbots, copilots, and workflow automation.
• Prepare and process data for model training, testing, and deployment.
• Integrate AI models into products and internal systems through APIs.
• Fine-tune, evaluate, and monitor model performance.
• Work closely with Product, Engineering, Data, and business teams to identify AI use cases.
• Ensure AI solutions follow data privacy, security, and governance standards.
• Document AI models, workflows, and technical designs.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, AI, Data Science, Software Engineering, or related field.
• 2–5 years of experience in AI, machine learning, data science, or software engineering.
• Strong Python programming skills.
• Experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Scikit-learn.
• Knowledge of LLMs, NLP, embeddings, vector databases, and RAG.
• Experience with APIs, cloud platforms, and production deployment.
• Strong problem-solving and collaboration skills.

Preferred

• Experience with OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, or Google Vertex AI.
• Experience with LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pinecone, FAISS, or similar tools.
• Experience in fintech, banking, payments, or regulated environments.
