What you will do Design and build components for our quantum error correction stack, with a focus on user-facing software libraries to help customers test and use our system Ensure whole-system correctness and performance through the creation of tests and benchmarks Integrate our system with customers and build the infrastructure to make these efforts reproducible Develop a broad understanding across several layers of the stack Requirements What we need Expertise with Python Curiosity to learn about new technologies, including quantum computing and quantum error correction Capability to lead positive customer-facing interactions Ability to explain highly technical concepts clearly, helping clients get up to speed quickly with using a complex system Experience with standard development practises, such as source control (e.g. git), continuous integration and unit testing Familiarity with networking, (equipping you with the ability to securely connect our system to an external partner) Ability to effectively and calmly debug issues in a deployment and adapt to find workarounds, as needed Great communication skills and the ability to work with a diverse range of people (both internally and externally) are absolutely essential What can you expect from us A comprehensive benefits package that includes an annual bonus plan, private medical insurance, life insurance, and a contributory pension scheme Equity, so that our team can share in the long-term success of Riverlane 28 days annual leave, plus bank holidays and enhanced family leave A diverse work environment that brings together experts in many fields (including software and hardware development, quantum information theory, physics and maths) and over 20 different nationalities A learning environment that encourages individual, team and company growth and learning, including a regular programme of learning events and training and conference budgets How to apply Please upload a CV and covering letter by clicking 'Apply Now'. Your covering letter should explain why you are applying for the job and what skills and experience you can bring to the role. We review CVs as we receive them and interview as soon as we have applications that look like a good match. We do not use closing dates, so, please apply as soon as possible to avoid missing out on this role. Everyone is welcome at Riverlane. We are an equal opportunities employer and encourage applications from eligible and suitably qualified candidates regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender reassignment, religion or belief, sexual orientation, marital or civil partnership status, or pregnancy and maternity/paternity. Studies have shown that women tend to apply to jobs if they meet all or almost all of the requirements whereas men apply even if they meet only some of the requirements. If that sounds like you then please apply - we are happy to review your application and let you know if we think you might be a good fit. If you need any adjustments made to the application or selection process so you can do your best, please let us know. We will be happy to help. Riverlane Ltd
Post-doc in Quantum Cryptography and Cryptanalysis The University of Edinburgh (Quantum Software Lab) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher (Research Associate, 18 months contract) in areas including quantum cryptography, cryptanalysis, hardware security, and quantum hardware modules, for a QuantERA project: "Hardware Security Module for secure delegated Quantum Cloud Computing" (HSM-QCC, link: ). The project consortium consists of University of Twente (NL, lead), University of Edinburgh, University of Sorbonne (FR), Eötvös Loránd University (HU), and industry partners including Quixquantum, Veriqloud, and Thales France. As part of this project, the candidate may work on: Developing new quantum hardware-based primitives that are provably secure and efficiently implementable on small and medium-scale quantum devices. Security analysis of the existing quantum HSM and resources designed and implemented during the project. Designing new practical and quantum-secure protocols for multi-party verifiable secure quantum computing. Your Skills and Attributes for Success: PhD (or near completion) in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related field. Strong background in quantum cryptography, security analysis, and quantum information. Proven expertise in the techniques needed to undertake the research in question. Demonstrated quality of research performance. Ability to communicate complex information clearly, orally and in writing. Extensive experience of working with multiple allied partners in research networks. Experience in collaboration with experimental researchers, especially in quantum optics. A track record of first author and collaborative publication in high-quality journals or conferences, including in quantum computing literature. Experience and evidence of effective independent research work within an interdisciplinary team. Demonstrated ability to design and complete research projects, solve problems independently, and make original contributions to research. How to Apply Find out more about the opportunity and the application process here. Deadline: 25 February 2025.
