About us

Riverlane's mission is to master quantum error correction (QEC) and unlock a new age of human progress. From advances in material and climate science, to complex chemistry simulation for new drug design, quantum computers will help humanity solve some of its most important challenges. But without QEC, the industry's defining technical challenge, such breakthroughs can never be achieved. Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is 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 Integration Software Engineer at Riverlane, you will help build the world's first quantum error correction stack - Deltaflow, and help deploy it to real customers. You will be excited by the opportunity to work with customers, including onsite with the customer, to ensure the integration of Deltaflow with their system. 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 somethingtruly unique,complexand 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 ownexpertise. You will also work well with different people and beteam-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
• 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 thiscutting-edgesystem

What we need

• ABachelor'sdegree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Physics,Mathsor a related discipline
• Great communicationskills and an ability to work with a diverse range of people are essential
