Hire by role

Hire quantum software engineers in the UK

What quantum software engineers are paid, what to name in the advert, and who you are up against — from the adverts on Quantum Computing Jobs, not a survey. Looking for the roles themselves? See Quantum Software Engineer jobs.

What you will pay

Not enough priced adverts yet to publish a range

We only print a figure once enough adverts on this board have stated one. Until then: state a salary, and pitch it at what the role is worth to you rather than what you hope to get away with.

Remote or anchored

A fully remote role draws the whole country and can pay a little under the London figure; an anchored one competes locally and cannot.
Greenfield or inherited

Building from nothing is worth more to the right person than running what exists, and they will ask which it is.
Someone senior to learn from

A strong lead in the team is worth thousands on the offer; without one, expect to pay for that experience directly.

The guide

How to hire quantum engineers in the UK

The pool is small enough to know by name, and half of it is still in a university. What the roles actually are, who you are competing with, and the specification mistake that empties your shortlist before it starts.
