About The Position

The Embedded Systems Software Engineer bridges the gap between Riverlane and its customers. They act as the primary technical interface for customer’s engineers and guide them through product integration and help with troubleshooting complex quantum systems. As an Embedded Software Engineer on the Systems Team, you will configure our Deltaflow Hardware to connect to the Quantum Computer allowing it to provide a low-latency, high throughput system that performs complex operations in a predictable and guaranteed way. You will develop our software stack to work with customers quantum computers. You will ensure our customers can run quantum experiments, implement Riverlane’s quantum errors correction algorithm and debug any issues that arise. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a team that is developing the world’s most advanced quantum error correcting algorithms and QEC Hardware. The Riverlane team is a mix of mathematicians, physicists and engineers, working together on a range of exciting and cutting-edge QEC projects.
