We believe quantum computing will change everything. It will have the power to transform the foundations of giant industries that rely on intensive computation. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the world’s first useful quantum computer, capable of delivering these transformative results. We know that means it will need 1 million qubits, error correction, a scalable architecture and a data center footprint.

By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over today’s most powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more.

PsiQuantum is uniquely positioned to deliver on the promise of quantum computing years earlier than our competitors. Our architecture is based on photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components using existing high-volume semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that are today producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. Since photons don’t feel heat, we can take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems, the kind that have been operating at facilities like the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC). And because photons are in fact light, they can move between subsystems at tremendous speed using standard fiber connectivity.

Our team is building a utility scale quantum computer and the software tools needed to build fault tolerant quantum applications. We’re a highly motivated and collaborative group focused on a singular goal - building the world’s first useful quantum computer on the fastest path possible.

There’s much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!

Job Summary:

PsiQuantum is singularly focused on the delivery of a useful utility-scale fault tolerant quantum computer. In addition to deploying a world-class quantum computer, we aim to deliver a world-class quantum user experience to both our external customers and internal developers. This will require the development of a novel, production-grade software system which will enable the delivery of both external enterprise products and internal quantum toolchains to interact with multiple generations of our system.

As a Release Coordinator within the Applications Department, you will oversee the entire software release lifecycle in a highly technical environment. This includes scheduling, planning, tracking, and controlling the development and delivery process. You will collaborate closely with cross functional teams to ensure timely and high-quality software releases, all while managing timelines and aligning with strategic goals.

Your key responsibilities include coordinating between development, testing, and production teams, identifying risks, and ensuring successful deployment and post-release evaluations. You will be instrumental in improving release management tools, automation practices, and risk mitigation strategies.

If you're passionate about managing software releases and driving process improvements, join our team to help ensure smooth, efficient, and successful deployments.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to, and take ownership of designing and continuously improving a tailored release process that satisfy customer requirements and Applications Software team’s software development and delivery process
• Oversee the release lifecycle: planning, scheduling, and deploying releases on time and and according to the release plan
• Collaborate across teams (development, QA, and operations) to coordinate preparing the release plans, timelines, and requirements for each release.
• Prepare release notes that include which features, bug fixes, and custom projects have been released during each release cycleCoordinate resources and dependencies, ensuring seamless integration between internal systems and third-party applications.
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks that could delay or affect the scope and quality of releases.
• Track release progress, address issues, and continuously improve release processes.
• Lead Go-Live activities, ensuring software is successfully deployed.
• Manage Configuration assigning resources per release requirements.
• Conduct release readiness reviews and post-release milestone evaluations.
• Regularly update stakeholders on release progress
• Maintain documentation of release processes, tools, and dependencies.

Experience/Qualifications

• Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience shipping product.
• 5+ years of experience in release management, DevOps, or configuration management roles.
• Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle, Agile methodologies, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with automation tools, version control (Git), and release management systems.
• Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional teams and coordinate complex release schedules.
• Strong project management skills, including risk assessment and mitigation.
• Excellent communication skills with experience leading release and deployment activities.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms, containerization (Docker, AWS, Kubernetes), and DevOps practices is a plus.
• Proven experience in improving release processes and implementing automation strategies
