Salary: £90,000 to £115,000 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.

About us

Riverlane’smission 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, some breakthroughs can never be achieved.Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skills,talentand 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:

Riverlane’soverarching mission is making quantum computing useful sooner.Diff erentquantumarchitectures requiredifferent solutionsto quantum error correction.We are seeking a technical leader for our new software-based quantum error correction stack, DF-AMO. DF-AMO targets scalability whilst preserving the flexibility required to support Atomic Molecular Optical (AMO) systems (Ion Traps, Cold Atoms). It is designed to be driven byDeltakit, our software SDK, and complementDeltaflow, our solid-state systems solution.
