About us
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.
At Riverlane, our mission is to make it possible for anyone to write and run fault-tolerant programs on a quantum computer. A key part of that mission is Deltakit, our open-source, user-facing software platform for building, simulating and interpreting QEC experiments. As a Software Engineer, you will play a central role in shaping and evolving Deltakit, ensuring it continues to meet the needs of a rapidly growing and highly technical community.
This is a role at the intersection of research and engineering. You’ll work closely with leading experts in QEC, translating cutting-edge ideas into robust, intuitive software that researchers can rely on. Your work will directly influence how users interact with Riverlane’s software ecosystem, helping to bridge the gap between theoretical advances and practical application.
Beyond building features, you’ll engage actively with our user community, supporting adoption, understanding how people are using Deltakit, and turning feedback into thoughtful, well-engineered improvements. Through this, you’ll help strengthen Riverlane’s position at the forefront of QEC software while ensuring the tools we build are genuinely impactful and accessible.
Riverlane is tackling ambitious challenges in a fast-moving, emerging field. You’ll be part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team where ideas are shared openly and learning never stops. As the technology and its applications evolve, so too will the problems we solve, offering plenty of opportunity to grow, adapt, and make a meaningful contribution to the future of quantum computing.

Riverlane is the world leader in Quantum Error Correction (QEC), the technology that unlocks quantum computing's promise
The fragility of qubits means today's quantum computers fail under an avalanche of data errors long before they reach utility-scale. Riverlane builds QEC tools and technology that correct quantum errors as quickly as they occur. Using sophisticated codes and decoders on proprietary QEC chips, our technology identifies and corrects errors millions, and ultimately billions, of times per second. We accelerate the quantum ecosystem by working closely with many of the world's leading quantum computer manufacturers, government bodies and high-performance computing (HPC) centres. Together, we're opening a world of new possibilities.
