Quantum is now, and it's built here. Oxford Ionics, now part of IonQ, is pioneering the next generation of quantum computing. Using our world-leading trapped ion technology, we're building the most powerful, accurate and reliable quantum systems to tackle problems that today's supercomputers cannot solve. Joining Oxford Ionics means becoming part of a global IonQ team that is transforming the future of quantum technology - faster, at scale, and with real world impact. What to expect: We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly technical Software Manager to join Oxford Ionics to lead our Runtime team. You will be working closely with our skilled software engineers and our world leading quantum scientists to plan and manage the development of software that powers our quantum computers.

You will initially be leading a software team of around five engineers building one or more components of our quantum computer stack. The quantum core of our hardware is built from trapped ion qubits, controlled by devices designed and made by a partner tier 1 fab. We control the ions using electrical signals and laser light, driven by real time FPGA systems and networked equipment. The required sequences and operations are derived both by low level experiments that our science teams produce, and by a compilation flow from quantum algorithms. The Runtime team plays a central role in managing all of these hardware components and is at the interface between highly complex hardware and the quantum circuits. What you'll be responsible for: In this position, you will be primarily responsible for leading and managing the effectiveness and efficiency of the Runtime team. This will ensure the team can deliver according to company needs and timescales. This will include owning the team's backlog and working with team members and the project management group to keep this up to date, providing clear updates on issues and detailed software solutions.

Excellent communication skills both across the organisation and with external stakeholders. Experience in tracking the delivery of new features, such as scoping, estimation, release planning and tacking, would be beneficial. Benefits Be part of a team that's shaping the future of quantum. We offer more than just a role, you'll join a world class community of scientists, engineers and innovators working to unlock the full potential of quantum computing. We offer a range of benefits, including opportunities to further your career alongside industry leaders, a competitive salary with IonQ stock options, an annual performance bonus, generous annual leave, flexible hybrid working, private medical and dental insurance for you and your family, and much more.
