Senior DevOps/Platform Engineer

About Our Team

Lenovo is building Quantum, a nextgeneration hybrid AI platform that spans Windows, Android, and cloud. As part of this vision, we are expanding the engineering organization supporting Qira, Lenovo's crossdevice Personal AI.

We are hiring Senior DevOps / Platform Engineers to build and operate the core automation, infrastructure, and service platforms that enable secure, reliable, and highvelocity delivery of Qira's AI systems across device, edge, and cloud.
Depending on your background, you may be aligned to Platform Engineering, Observability, Operations, or Service Reliability-based on experience and organizational need.

Qira operates with the speed, ownership, and creativity of a startup, supported by the scale, resources, and technical depth of Lenovo. We are building foundational systems from the ground up-intentionally, pragmatically, and with a culture of engineering excellence.

Location: Open to remote work in the US. The preferred work location is Chicago, IL.

What You Might Work On

As a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer, you may be responsible for a subset of the following areas depending on team placement:

CI/CD, Automation & Tooling

• Designing, implementing, and improving CI/CD pipelines for AI, platform, and application teams.
