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.

Our Software team’s 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 partners.

The Senior role involves owning and leading parts of the software stack.

You could have a background in computer science,mathsorphysics. You might have experience in building classical compilers, orin designing fault tolerant logic representations.

Youwillbring your background,experience and passion for learning new things to build

Riverlane’ssoftware stack. The stack encodes

Riverlane’snovel QEC codes and real-time decoder interfaces into a greenfield, modern

LLVM MLIR-based compiler. You will help Riverlanebuild the critical compilation and runtime systems needed forlarge-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Riverlane’smission is exciting, but complex. It requires teams with a wide range of skills and perspectives, that communicate well and collaborate effectively to achieve truly innovative solutions.

You will thrive in an environment where knowledge-sharing and continuous learning are the norm. We are moving fast in a brand-new market, where requirements change as the technology evolves, sothe ability to adaptis important.
