Jobs at Riverlane

Develop and extend classical simulation tools for fault-tolerant quantum computing and QEC, implement efficient techniques for Clifford and near-Clifford circuits, run numerical studies of logical operations and decoder performance, write code for scientific experiments, publish and present research, and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams and external partners.

Join Riverlane as a Graduate Verification Engineer to develop and execute verification plans for quantum error correction hardware. You'll create and run SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, run simulations, debug with the design team, define verification strategies, and apply verification best practices. No prior quantum computing background required; learning on the job is supported.

Develop, optimise and maintain high-quality research software for quantum error correction. Implement reliable decoding algorithms, support simulation tooling, manage repositories and releases, collaborate with researchers, and mentor engineers; at staff level set technical direction and lead small teams.

Develop, optimise and maintain production-quality implementations of quantum error-correction decoding algorithms. Translate research prototypes into reliable software, extend quantum simulation and QEC tools, manage repositories and releases, and collaborate with researchers and other teams to integrate and improve the QEC stack.

Lead development of Deltakit, turning QEC research into robust open-source software. Drive design, delivery, performance and scalability, mentor engineers, collaborate across teams, engage the research community, and run workshops to support adoption and shape technical direction.

Lead design and implementation of a LLVM/MLIR-based compiler toolchain for error-corrected quantum computing. Build compilers, emulators, profilers, and debuggers; implement optimizations and IR transformations; own substantial parts of the software stack; mentor engineers; collaborate with hardware and science teams to integrate error-correcting codes and runtimes.

Support partners designing, running and interpreting quantum computing experiments and contribute to internal quantum error correction research. Translate experimental goals into implementations, analyse results, troubleshoot with research and product teams, deploy QEC-related solutions, and present findings at customer meetings and conferences.

Lead the strategy and roadmap for Deltakit, an open-source QEC SDK. Engage users and partners, prioritise features, align cross-functional teams, support launches, drive developer adoption and community growth, and ensure strong documentation and onboarding.

Lead and conduct original research in quantum error correction, act as Principal Investigator on externally funded programs, define technical direction, publish and present results, interface with national labs and government partners, mentor researchers, contribute to funding proposals, and build small research teams as funding allows.

Lead and set the direction for Riverlane's open-source SDK (Deltakit), driving teams that build simulators, analysis tools, visualizers and core components. Prioritise community-facing components, collaborate with product and internal developers, engage the global developer community, and amplify internal engineering efforts to produce widely accessible software.

Lead FPGA integration for Riverlane's Deltaflow hardware: write RTL, implement and verify FPGA designs, benchmark latency, support on-site system deployments, debug with customers, and feed product improvements back to engineering and product teams.

Own end-to-end functional verification for block- and system-level designs. Define verification plans and strategies, build scalable SystemVerilog testbenches (UVM/OVM) with checkers, reference models, and SVA. Implement directed, random and self-testing, track regressions, coverage metrics and bugs, and debug across RTL, simulation and hardware. Collaborate with designers and architects to ensure high quality and reliability.

Work with partners to design, run and analyze quantum computing experiments, deploy QEC solutions using Riverlane's tools, investigate results, and contribute to internal QEC research. Collaborate with customers and internal teams and present findings at meetings and conferences.

Lead integration and deployment of low-latency, high-throughput compiler software for Riverlane's DeltaFlow hardware. Work with customers on technical pre-sales, on-site system integration, benchmarking, debugging, and feedback to product teams. Write Python/C++ (or Rust), adapt low-level code to quantum control systems, and collaborate with QA and application teams to validate and improve systems.

Develop and maintain Deltakit, an open-source platform for quantum error correction. Implement software tools and parts of the QEC compiler, collaborate with scientists and engineers, engage with the user community, write maintainable code, and support adoption and feedback-driven improvements.

Design and implement embedded software components for a quantum error correction stack, integrate with partner hardware, develop test infrastructure for correctness and performance, and collaborate with product and quantum science teams to deliver deployable, high-performance embedded systems.

Lead integration of Riverlane�s Deltaflow hardware and software with customer quantum computers. Perform system deployment, benchmarking, troubleshooting, technical workshops, and collaborate with QA and product teams to enable low-latency, high-throughput quantum experiments and implement quantum error correction solutions.

Design and build compilers, emulators, profilers and debuggers for error-corrected quantum systems. Implement QEC codes and runtimes, write maintainable code, collaborate with scientists and engineers, and deliver components of an LLVM MLIR-based compiler and runtime.

Lead hands-on research in quantum error correction, manage and mentor a small research team, own multi-person projects, translate research into products, collaborate with partners, write and review code, and communicate results via publications and presentations.

Lead and conduct high-impact quantum error correction research, manage and mentor a small research team, drive multi-person projects end-to-end, translate research into product outcomes, collaborate with hardware partners, write and review code, and communicate results via publications and presentations.
