About us

Riverlanes mission 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 achieved. Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skills talent and passion.

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

About the role

Our Software teams mission is to enable anyone to be able to write and run a fault tolerant program on a quantum computer. The compiler is a critical part of this toolchain. This role is a fantastic opportunity to help us build and ship this toolchain for use by our hardware Senior role involves owning and leading parts of the software stack.

You could have a background in computer sciencemathsorphysics. You might have experience in building classical compilers orin designingfault tolerant logic your backgroundexperienceand passion for learning new things to buildRiverlanessoftware stack.
