Job description

Integration Software Engineer

Cambridge, UK | Full-time | Permanent | Hybrid

Salary: £65,000 - £80,000 DOE

The salary range for this role is broad, as we are able to consider varying levels of experience.Any offer made will carefully take into account level of experience (including relevant industry experience), transferable relevant skills and previous relevant achievements.

Please indicate your preferred working schedule in your cover letter.

About us

the company’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. the company 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), the company 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 the company, 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 the company, 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 the company, 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

• 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 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

• Strong Python skills and proficiency with C++ , namely:
  • Able to show substantial experience of developing and designing Python3 tools or applications in a professional, production environment, Ideally, including experience of doing this in a hardware control/interfacing context.
  • Able to demonstrate professional experience of developing using C++ to produce production-grade released code. Including use of modern (C++14 or later) C++ features, such as memory management, multithreading, STL libraries, etc.
  • Able to demonstrate an understanding of design and architecture best practices such as object-orientation, SOLID principals and clean code.
  • Able to demonstrate an understanding of software testing best practices, such as unit testing, integration testing, end-to-end testing. Ideally in an embedded context.

• Experience of developing scripts or test harnesses with Python

• Curiosity to learn aboutnew technologies, including quantum computing and error correction

• Experience of developing software for embedded applications and/or for testing hardware devices. Ideally, including interface protocols such as serial, UART, I2C, tcp/ip.

• Experience with standard development practices, such as source control, continuous integration and unit testing

Even better if you have…

• Experience of working with external customers in a system deployment or on-going support context, or, can demonstrate a desire to work directly with customers.

• Experience of deploying and verifying production software onto customer systems or environments.
