Senior Research Engineer, Riverlane

• A natural problem-solver, you will be curious in your approach and solutions driven
• You will work well with different people and have a ‘ship’ mentality, while having opportunities to work on research directly impacting the direction of practical quantum error correction
• Proven experience in Python
• Excellent understanding of how hardware implements software
• Experience driving the direction of scientific or technical research
• Experience leading projects involving an interdisciplinary team of multiple people
• Ability to work effectively both independently, and collaboratively as part of a team
• Women and other underrepresented groups may be less likely to apply for a role unless they meet all or nearly all of the requirements. If this applies to you, we still encourage you to apply - you may be a great fit, even if you don’t meet every single qualification. We’d love to hear from you

Desirable

• As a Senior Architecture Research Engineer at Riverlane, you won’t just research quantum error correction - you’ll help us build it
• Your critical work will help deliver the world’s first QEC stack and unlock useful, scalable quantum computing
• This is a fantastic opportunity to join our “Frontier” team, which works at the forefront of cutting-edge science and engineering
• The team’s mission is to develop effective solutions that enable large-scale, real-time error-corrected quantum computation
• This highly collaborative team brings together world-class mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists and software engineers, working side by side to translate innovative scientific ideas into Deltaflow, Riverlane’s Quantum Error Correction (QEC) stack
• You will also work on new research projects to ensure these solutions perform effectively in practice
• As a Senior Architecture Research Engineer, you will have a strong understanding of both cutting-edge research and its practical implementation in hardware
• In this role, you will investigate algorithms that could be implemented in Deltaflow hardware
• You will use modelling tools to develop novel algorithms, implementations, optimisations, and data structures that make decoding more accurate, faster and flexible
• These models will guide Deltaflow architecture, shaping the direction of the entire product, while developing valuable IP
• Understand design requirements and constraints for error-corrected quantum computing systems
• Prototype and model novel algorithms and features for hardware QEC stack
• Do full system bring-up, co-simulation, testing, performance modelling
• Write correct, fast and maintainable code
• Push the boundaries of practical quantum error correction (QEC) through hands-on, high-impact research, while coaching and levelling up researchers and engineers in your team
• Own and lead multi-person projects end –to-end, working closely with your team and cross-functional partners across Riverlane
• Actively shape the direction and priorities of QEC research in relevant areas as we scale our technology and roadmap
• Translate cutting-edge research into outcomes that move the company forward, contributing directly to Riverlane’s goals and strategy
• Line-manage, mentor, and support members of your team, helping them to grow and take on increasing responsibility
• Share knowledge and col
