Employment Type:

Full Time

ORCA Computing, headquartered in London, UK, and with an office in the United States, is a developer of full-stack photonic quantum computing systems. The company provides robust, high-performance, data centre-ready solutions designed for machine learning, generative AI, and optimisation workloads, and has already delivered eleven on-premises quantum computers to customers globally.

ORCA’s multidisciplinary team focuses on applying advanced computing to real-world challenges. By combining photonic quantum hardware with proprietary software, the company is developing practical high-performance computing approaches that integrate with existing AI and data centre infrastructure. Its hybrid quantum-classical systems are already being used in industrial settings to improve performance, efficiency, and scalability, while a longer-term roadmap continues toward fault-tolerant quantum capabilities.

Designed for seamless integration, ORCA’s technology can be deployed within existing workflows, enabling organisations to explore quantum-enhanced computing without significant infrastructure change. By embedding quantum capabilities into generative AI pipelines, ORCA is enabling improvements in model performance alongside reductions in energy demand – an increasingly important factor as AI adoption scales – while creating a clearer, commercially viable path for quantum technologies.

As a Senior Pre-Sales Engineer at ORCA, you will operate at the front line of commercialising quantum computing, working directly with partners and customers to translate ORCA capabilities and benchmarks into real-world partner and customer value.

You will help the sales team advance opportunities through the funnel, taking the lead on technical proposals.

You will contribute to design and implementation of internal, partner and customer quantum-classical integration projects. This involves combining machine learning and optimisation workflows, high-performance computing environments, and ORCA quantum computing products into coherent, testable solutions.

The challenge is not only technical, but interpretative: identifying where quantum-enhanced approaches provide real advantage and communicating value and risk clearly and responsibly to technical and commercial audiences.

Your work will directly shape ORCA’s ability to convert interest into deployed systems, credible proof points, and successful partner and customer programmes.
