Senior Staff Solution Architect - Platform Architecture

IonQ, Inc. [NYSE: IONQ] is the world's leading quantum platform and merchant supplier - delivering integrated quantum solutions across computing, networking, sensing, and security. In this role, you will own the end-to-end architecture of a high-scale, data-intensive network monitoring platform — from data modeling and ingestion pipelines to cloud-native deployment. Architect cloud-native ingestion and processing pipelines capable of handling telemetry from hundreds of thousands of devices, leveraging streaming platforms and time-series storage at scale.Define and own the platform's unified YANG-based data model, spanning device configuration state, operational telemetry, and topology relationships across heterogeneous network environments, serving as the authoritative schema from which ingestion pipelines, storage structures, and API contracts are derived.Write and review production-quality code in Go and/or Rust for performance-critical platform components including collectors, aggregators, and real-time processing engines.Define and enforce data partitioning, sharding, and retention strategies to sustain high-volume device event streams while meeting latency and durability requirements.Lead the design of cloud-native deployment patterns (Kubernetes, service mesh, autoscaling) to ensure the platform operates reliably at global scale across multi-cloud environments.Evaluate and drive adoption of purpose-fit technologies — time-series databases, graph stores, stream processors — with a focus on operational scalability and long-term maintainability.Partner with Product and Engineering to translate monitoring requirements into platform capabilities, ensuring architectural decisions are reflected in roadmap milestones and engineering specifications.Mentor senior engineers through architecture reviews, coding standards, and hands-on technical guidance, raising the bar for platform quality and engineering practices. We are proud to be an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. The position you are applying for will require access to technology that is subject to U.S. export control and government contract restrictions.
