Please indicate your preferred working schedule in your cover letter.    About us   Riverlane’s 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 industry’s 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 our  cutting-edge  R&D in quantum error correction (QEC), Riverlane partners with many of the world’s leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a reality.  We’re  making remarkable progress and growing fast.    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 Senior Embedded Software Engineer at Riverlane, you will help build the world’s first quantum error correction stack - Deltaflow. This cutting-edge work will involve collaborating with our world-class engineering, product and quantum physics teams to design, build and deliver this stack.   At Riverlane, we are creating something truly unique, complex and large-scale, so being comfortable with engineering to evolving specs is key. As such, you will be happy and excited to get hands-on quickly in areas outside your own expertise. You will also work well with different people and be team-oriented.       Prior quantum computing knowledge is not necessary - you will learn this along the way!   What you will do: Design and build embedded software components for our quantum error correction stack, specifically targeting features that aid with seamless deployment of our product to partners   Integrate our QEC stack into world-class quantum computing systems   Develop test infrastructure to verify and benchmark whole-system correctness and performance   Work alongside our Product and Quantum Science teams to understand the requirements and constraints for this cutting-edge system     What we need A Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Physics, Maths or a related discipline   Great communication skills and an ability to work with a diverse range of people are essential   Strong C++ skills   Proficiency with a scripting language, such as Python   Curiosity to learn about new technologies, including quantum computing and error correction   A deep understanding of how hardware implements software   Experience with standard development practises, such as source control, continuous integration and unit testing   Even better if you have…   Hands-on experience of working alongside hardware design   Experience writing embedded software in high-performance applications    What c
