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.

We recently raised $75M in Series C funding to accelerate our cuttingedge R&D in quantum error correction (QEC) and are partnering with many of the worlds leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make faulttolerant quantum computing a reality. Were making remarkable progress and growing fast.

About the role

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer at Riverlane you will use your expert embedded software skills to design and engineer the realtime software for the worlds first Quantum Error Correction (QEC) stack. Building on our existing first generation of Deltaflow products this is a rare opportunity to shape and influence embedded software at Riverlane having a farreaching impact on our designs and directly impacting our products.

With responsibility from day one you will collaborate closely with our external partners as well as with our worldclass Engineering Product and Quantum Science teams to define build and deliver our cuttingedge control system. Your work will have a direct impact on fault tolerant quantum computing.

At Riverlane we are building something brand new. The projects you will work on will be truly unique complex and largescale so you need to be comfortable with engineering to evolving specs.

A natural problemsolver you will be curious in your approach and solutions driven. You will work well with different people and have a ship mentality and you will learn quantum computing along the way!

What you will do

You will work with our talented embedded software team and hardware designers to designand build the embedded software for the worlds first Quantum Error Correction stack. In your role as Senior Embedded Software Engineer you will:

• Design and build the embedded runtime of the QEC system
• Build any other libraries and tools needed for the embedded runtime like simulators profilers compilers etc.
• Design scalable and verifiable systems
• Write code that is correct and performant
• Work with both userlevel software and FPGA/ ASIC hardware systems

You do not need a background in quantum computing! You will learn this along the way...

What we need

• Track record of bringup and delivery of embedded software systems on commercial CPUs/FPGA/ASICs
• Proven experience of working in lowlatency applications or in distributed computing
• Excellent communication skills and attention to detail
• Deep experience in C Rust or C
• Experience in scripting languages like Python
• Experience in dev tools like git Make/ CMake CI etc.

What can you expect from us

• A comprehensive benefits package that includes an annual bonus plan private medical insurance life insurance and a contributory pension scheme
• Equity so that our team can share in the longterm success of Riverlane
• 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays and enhanced family leave
• A diverse work environment that brings together experts in many fields (including software and hardware development quantum information theory physics and maths) and over 20 different nationalities
• A learning environment that encourages individual team and company growth and learning including an annual training and conference budget for each staff member
