About us
Riverlanes mission is to make quantum computing useful sooner. From advances in material science to complex chemistry simulation for drug design and discovery quantum computers will help solve some of the worlds most important challenges. Riverlane is building the quantum error correction stack Deltaflow to make this happen. Its a complex problem that requires a range of skills talent and passion.
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 Software Engineer at Riverlane you will help test build and integrate the worlds first QEC stack. This cuttingedge and exciting work will involve collaborating with inhouse engineering teams as well as our external quantum hardware partners.
Were creating something truly unique complex and largescale so being comfortable with engineering to evolving specs is key. As such you will be happy and excited to have the chance to get handson quickly in areas outside your own expertise. You will also work well with different people and be teamoriented.
Prior quantum computing knowledge is not necessary you will learn this along the way!
