Software Engineer

Riverlane, a pioneering quantum computing company that recently raised $75M in Series C funding, is seeking a Software Engineer to join their mission of making quantum computing practical through quantum error correction (QEC). Based in Cambridge, UK, this hybrid role offers both full-time and part-time opportunities.

The position involves working on Deltaflow, Riverlane's quantum error correction stack, in collaboration with leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies. As a Software Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of developing and testing components for the world's first QEC stack, focusing on user-facing software libraries that help customers implement and utilize the system.

The role requires expertise in Python and standard development practices, but prior quantum computing knowledge isn't necessary - you'll learn this on the job. You'll work in a diverse environment with experts from various fields, including software and hardware development, quantum information theory, physics, and mathematics, representing over 20 different nationalities.

The company offers an attractive compensation package including equity participation, ensuring you share in Riverlane's long-term success.
