Motivated by a recent experiment on a superconducting quantum processor [Mi et al., Science 378, 785 (2022)], we study edge modes in the random-field Floquet quantum Ising model. The edge modes induce pairings in the many-body Floquet spectrum with splittings exponentially close to zero or π. We find that random transverse fields induce a log-normal distribution for both types of splittings. In contrast, random longitudinal fields affect the zero and π splittings in drastically different ways. While zero pairings are rapidly lifted, the π pairings are remarkably robust, or even strengthen, up to vastly larger disorder strengths. We explain our result within a self-consistent Floquet perturbation theory and study implications for boundary spin-spin correlations. The robustness of π pairings against longitudinal disorder may be useful for quantum information processing.
