A cutting-edge technology company in Reading is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to lead the development of software solutions that make Quantum Computing accessible. You will work on coding, mentoring, and all aspects of the software development lifecycle, using your solid grasp of Python and other languages. This role offers an opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking projects in an agile environment.
Quantum computing promises to transform the tech landscape; developing the right software to access and use it is essential to realising that potential. OQC is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our team to drive the scaling and development of our code and ensure that OQC is able to offer a truly seamless Quantum Computing experience both via the cloud and direct access via data centres.
This is a chance to contribute to the true, bleeding edge of the tech sector. You will be a seasoned Software Engineer who thrives on solving problems and stepping out of your comfort zone to drive forward projects. You have led projects through the entire development lifecycle and are ready to take on maintaining, debugging and improving legacy code as well as being able to develop innovative solutions from the ground up. Ensuring best practice and appropriate methodology is built into every project; you use your experience of nurturing that knowledge and mindset in others to make it the standard in your teams.
This role is central to making access to Quantum Computing a reality today. Are you ready to help open that door?
To thrive in this role, you’ll need a solid grasp of good coding practices, especially in Python, along with a strong understanding of data structures, architecture, and design principles. It’s also a big plus if you’re comfortable in other languages like Java, C++, or similar. Your foundation in computer science might come from a degree, hands-on experience, or even self-study - what matters most is that you can apply those principles in practice. You should be confident in designing complex systems end-to-end, from gathering requirements all the way through to QA, deployment, and ongoing maintenance, ideally within an agile environment. We also really value team growth, so we’re looking for someone who enjoys mentoring and is keen to share their knowledge to help less experienced colleagues develop.
We would be especially keen to hear from you if you also have a strong knowledge of tools such as JavaScript, HTML, React, Angular or Node.js. Experience with web APIs and SQL would also be an advantage.
