Title: Quantum Software Engineer

Company: Quantum Computing

Location: Oxfordshire (Hybrid)

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