Quantum Software Engineer - Reading, United Kingdom - Oxford Quantum Circuits
Description
The Opportunity
We are looking for an individual with a strong theoretical understanding of Quantum computing who is excited for the opportunity to put theory into practice and contribute to OQC's mission to put quantum computing in the hands of humanity.
Remuneration
The Role
Our Software team is seeking someone with both an understanding of Quantum information theory and experience with programming to help utilise quantum computing theory for an improved quantum computing offering.
This is a rare chance to be a theorist in a hardware company. The post holder will have access to Quantum computers and the opportunity to put theory into practice with tangible real-world results. The successful candidate will work as part of our Quantum Software team and will work closely with our other Quantum Engineers in the business.
This role will be focused on finding routes forward in areas such as Quantum error mitigation, Quantum error correction and Runtime improvements as well as implementing and optimising new features in our stack. They will help develop our open source compiler and build connections in the open source community.
Long term, depending on the skills of the successful candidate, this role could develop more towards quantum RnD and implementation of error mitigation or towards a pure software engineer role.
Responsibilities will include:
Required Skills and Experience
Desired Skills
Research has shown that women are less likely than men to apply for this role if they do not have solid experience in 100% of these areas. Please know that this list is indicative and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel you only are a 75% match. Skills can be learnt, diversity cannot.

Are you ready to help us build this future?
