Title: Quantum Software Engineer

Company: Quantum Computing

Pay: Up to £65,000 + benefits

Company:

An elite Quantum Computing company are looking for a Quantum Software Engineer to join one of their small teams, formed of computer scientists and physicists. They are well established and need to have more hands in the team due to ongoing success.

Role:

This is a Software Engineer role, targeted ideally at someone who is ready to learn significant amounts of the next generation of tech. Most of the systems are built in Python so it's important you either have strong experience with Python, or have a solid foundational knowledge of data structures and algorithms. Much of the high-performance software is written in Rust, which will increase with time - you will be exposed to this regularly.

This positions involves facilitating physics experiments, so it is crucial that you have an understanding of the fundamental physics at play. This is best suited for someone who has recently completed a relevant MSc/PhD, or is in the early years of their software engineering career.

About you:

Good understanding of the physics behind the systems
Demonstrable interest in Quantum Computing
Holds at least an MSc, or has relevant industry experience

Full details are available. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with to learn more.

Quantum Jobs in the UK: Roles, Skills, Salaries and How to Get Hired (2026 Guide)

Quantum Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and skills across quantum computing, communications, sensing and cryptography — and how to get hired. In the UK, most quantum jobs cluster around hubs such as London, Cambridge, Oxford, Bristol and Edinburgh, with common titles including Quantum Software Engineer, Quantum Algorithm Developer, Quantum Hardware Engineer and Post‑Quantum Cryptography Specialist. The easiest way to browse live quantum jobs is via specialist boards like QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk, which curate roles specifically in this field so you are not lost in general STEM listings. This guide covers everything you need to know about quantum jobs in the UK in 2026: what roles exist, which skills are in demand, typical salary ranges, and how to position yourself to get hired.

Where to Advertise Quantum Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise quantum computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, academic networks and consortia that reach quantum hardware and Qiskit talent. The global talent pool is tiny — measured in thousands, not tens of thousands — and concentrated around a small number of university physics departments, national laboratories and well-funded hardware startups. Many of the strongest candidates hold PhDs in quantum physics, quantum information or adjacent disciplines and are embedded in academic or research communities that rarely intersect with mainstream job boards. General platforms are largely ineffective for quantum hiring. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community outreach are not optional extras — they are the primary sourcing strategy. This guide, published by QuantumComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise quantum computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Quantum Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Quantum Computing Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the UK quantum hiring trends shaping hardware, software and applications careers over the next three years. Quantum computing is no longer a discipline that exists purely in academic papers and government roadmaps. It is entering a phase of genuine commercial momentum — one that is beginning to reshape the jobs market in ways that are both significant and, for well-positioned job seekers, enormously promising. The UK sits at the centre of this shift. With the government's £2 billion National Quantum Strategy committed through to 2034, a network of world-class university research groups, a growing cluster of quantum hardware and software companies, and deepening investment from major technology and defence organisations, Britain has established itself as one of a handful of countries genuinely competing at the frontier of quantum computing development and commercialisation. But the quantum computing jobs market of 2026 is a nuanced one. It is not yet the broad, deep hiring market that artificial intelligence or cloud computing represents. It is a specialist, technically demanding, and rapidly evolving landscape where the roles being created today look quite different from those that existed three years ago — and where the roles that will dominate hiring in 2028 are already beginning to take shape. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which technical areas are moving from research into commercial application, which adjacent skills are becoming as important as quantum physics itself, and how to position a quantum computing career that will remain valuable as the technology scales. This article breaks down what the UK quantum computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most consequential technology transitions of the coming decade.
