About us

Riverlanesmission 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 industrys defining technical challenge such breakthroughs can never be the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skillstalentand passion.

Having raised more than $125M in funding to date to accelerate ourcutting-edgeR&D in quantum error correction (QEC)Riverlanepartners with many of the worlds leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a remarkable progress and growing fast.

About the role

As aApplied MathematicianatRiverlaneyoulluse applied mathematics and modelling to inform the design of our quantum error correction(QEC)system at the core of nextgeneration quantum thisbrand newrole you willsupport architectural decisionsbyansweringpractical quantitative questions around how information flows throughdatapipelines how uncertainty affects performance and whether an approach will scaleto future QEC upon your mathematical and software skills youllbuild mathematical and computational models test assumptions and compare model outputs with real system data to improve the process. Thisexciting newrole atRiverlaneis a fantastic opportunitytoshape our approach and innovate on themethods usedinourdevelopment.

What you will do

• Build mathematical and computational models to support system architecture and design decisions.

• Estimate performance process times and system behaviour under uncertainty.

• Usestatistical modelling techniques to understand variability and scaling.

• Refine models over time by comparison with real system data.

• Work closely with engineering teamsto understand thesystemdesigns tobe modelled.

• Produce clear practical recommendationsbased on quantitative analysis.

What we need

• Strong mathematical background with experience inapplied modelling or quantitative problem-solving.

• Ability to translate architecture-stage questions into practical mathematical or computational models.

• Strong coding skills ideally in Python R or similar.

• Confidence working with real system data tovalidateand improve model outputs.

Even better ifyou have

• Experience working withor alongsidehardwaresystems orhave anunderstandingofhow software interacts with physical components.

• Background in hardware-focused or systems engineering environments where modelling is used to guide design decisions.

What can you expect from us

• A comprehensive benefits package that includesan annual bonus planprivate medical insurance life insurance and acontributory pension scheme

• Equity so that our team can share in the long-term success ofRiverlane

• 28 days annual leaveplus bank holidays and enhanced family leave

• A diverse work environment that brings together experts in many fields (including software and hardware development quantum information theoryphysicsand maths) and over 20 different nationalities

• A learning environment that encourages individual team and company growth anddevelopment including a regular programme of learning events and training and conference budgets
