Full Time Ibm Quantum Computing Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
IBM Quantum is an industry-first initiative to build universal quantum computers for business, engineering, and science. The Security Engineer will focus on ensuring the security of software applications and infrastructure in quantum computing environments, addressing vulnerabilities, and integrating security measures throughout the product lifecycle.
Responsibilities:
• Focus on ensuring the security, compliance, and integrity of an organization's software applications, infrastructure, and data, with a particular emphasis on high-tech and sensitive environments like quantum computing.
• Identify and address security vulnerabilities, implement security measures, and ensure that the product adheres to internal security policies, regulatory standards, and best practices.
• Proactively assess risks, apply security frameworks, and work closely with teams such as IBM's CISO and development groups to integrate security throughout the entire product lifecycle.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, software security, or related roles.
• Degree in Computer Science or equivalent, or equivalent work experience.
• Solid experience in core security principles, including network security, application security, identity and access management (IAM), data encryption, vulnerability management, and security incident response.
• Hands-on experience with security tools for security monitoring, logging, and response, including experience with penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and firewall management.
• Cloud security expertise, including cloud storage, network configurations, containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and cloud-based identity management systems.
• Experience working in DevSecOps or secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) environments, where security practices are integrated into every stage of development. This includes conducting code reviews, security testing, and working with development teams to fix vulnerabilities early in the development process.
• Experience in leading or contributing to incident response efforts, including identifying and mitigating security breaches, conducting post-incident forensic analysis, and developing strategies to prevent similar incidents in the future.
• Deep understanding of networking concepts and security best practices, including TCP/IP stack, DNS, HTTP/S, VPNs, and network segmentation strategies.
• Hands-on experience designing and managing secure network architectures, including the configuration and management of firewalls, load balancers, proxies, and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS).
• Experience with network traffic analysis and monitoring tools (e.g., Wireshark, NetFlow, or equivalent) to detect anomalous behavior and potential threats.
• Collaboration and communication skills: the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams, including product development, operations, and the CISO team, is essential. Strong communication skills are required to articulate security risks, vulnerabilities, and solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Preferred:
• Bachelor's Degree
• Experience or familiarity with the security needs of quantum computing environments, especially given the sensitivity and complexity of quantum software and infrastructure. Understanding of how quantum computing interacts with existing security systems, how data is handled, and how quantum-specific encryption methods apply.
• Expertise in using security tools, particularly IBM QRadar for security information and event management (SIEM).
• Experience securing cloud infrastructures, particularly on IBM Cloud.
• Familiarity with software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) technologies, and their security implications in hybrid and cloud environments.
• Understanding of regulatory frameworks and compliance requirements, such as GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, and other industry-specific regulations. The Security Engineer should be able to navigate compliance audits and ensure that the product meets all legal and regulatory standards.
