The Future of Quantum Computing Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Quantum computing is no longer confined to laboratory benches or theoretical physics journals. The UK is propelling itself into the quantum era through bold investment and strategic planning. With an updated National Quantum Strategy pledging billions of pounds in public funding through 2030, and private venture funding reaching record levels in 2024, the sector is gaining real momentum. Yet despite this surge, the UK quantum sector currently employs only around 1,700 people, with average salaries close to £50,000. At the same time, projections suggest that globally, quantum computing may drive the creation of a quarter of a million jobs by 2030, and possibly more than 800,000 by 2035. In the UK specifically, quantum-related activity could generate well over 100,000 jobs by 2055, though only a fraction would be directly within the quantum sector itself. This indicates a vast and evolving ecosystem, one where entirely new careers are likely to bloom—jobs that, today, have little or no presence. This article explores emerging quantum careers that currently don’t exist but may soon define the industry.

Pre-Employment Checks for Quantum Computing Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

The quantum computing industry represents one of the most strategically important and rapidly evolving sectors in modern technology, with quantum professionals playing crucial roles in advancing scientific understanding, developing breakthrough technologies, and maintaining national technological competitiveness. As quantum computing transitions from academic research to commercial applications and national security implementations, pre-employment screening processes have become increasingly sophisticated and comprehensive. Quantum computing careers span diverse environments from university research laboratories and government quantum initiatives to commercial quantum startups and established technology companies developing quantum cloud services. Each sector brings unique screening requirements reflecting the strategic sensitivity of quantum technologies, the international nature of quantum research collaboration, and the critical importance of maintaining both research integrity and intellectual property protection. Understanding quantum computing pre-employment screening helps professionals navigate career opportunities effectively whilst enabling employers to identify candidates capable of contributing to quantum innovation whilst maintaining appropriate security standards, research ethics, and technical excellence. The screening processes examine not only technical quantum competencies but also research integrity, security clearance eligibility, and ability to work effectively across the interdisciplinary quantum ecosystem. This comprehensive guide examines the full spectrum of pre-employment screening practices across quantum computing careers, from basic right-to-work verification through enhanced security clearance processes, technical competency assessment, and industry-specific requirements. Whether pursuing opportunities in quantum algorithm development, quantum hardware engineering, quantum software development, or quantum research leadership, understanding these screening processes enables quantum professionals to prepare effectively and advance their careers successfully. The quantum computing sector's unique combination of cutting-edge research, commercial potential, and strategic importance creates screening requirements that reflect both the technical demands of quantum innovation and the security considerations of strategically sensitive technologies. These processes ultimately support the continued advancement of quantum computing by ensuring high professional standards and technical competence necessary for breakthrough quantum innovation and responsible quantum technology development.
