Description

Senior Embedded Software Engineer Cambridge, UK | Full-time | Permanent | Salary: £70,000 - £90,000 DOE About us Riverlane’s mission is to make quantum computing useful, sooner. From advances in material science to complex chemistry simulation for drug design and discovery, quantum computers will help solve some of the world’s most important challenges. Riverlane is building the quantum error correction stack, Deltaflow, to make this happen. It’s a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion. Having raised more than $125M in funding to date to accelerate our cutting-edge R&D in quantum error correction (QEC), Riverlane partners with many of the world’s leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a reality. We’re making remarkable progress and growing fast. About the role At Riverlane, we build new and advanced solutions to solve one of the hardest problems in quantum computing: quantum error correction (QEC). As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer at Riverlane, you will help build the world’s first quantum error correction stack - Deltaflow. This cutting-edge work will involve collaborating with our world-class engineering, product and quantum physics teams to design, build and deliver this stack. At Riverlane, we are creating something truly unique, complex and large-scale, so being comfortable with engineering to evolving specs is key. As such, you will be happy and excited to get hands-on quickly in areas outside your own expertise. You will also work well with different people and be team-oriented. Prior quantum computing knowledge is not necessary - you will learn this along the way! What you will do Design and build embedded software components for our quantum error correction stack, specifically targeting features that aid with seamless deployment of our product to partners. Integrate our QEC stack into world-class quantum computing systems. Develop test infrastructure to verify and benchmark whole-system correctness and performance. Work alongside our Product and Quantum Science teams to understand the requirements and constraints for this cutting-edge system.
