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

10 Quantum Computing Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Quantum technology has raced from theoretical promise to practical prototype faster than any deep‑tech field in recent memory. The UK—already home to world‑class physics departments at Oxford, Cambridge, UCL and Bristol—doubled down in late 2024 by adding £2.5 billion to the National Quantum Strategy, lifting the public‑funding pot to £5.5 billion through 2030. Private capital keeps pace: Dealroom logged £1.1 billion in UK quantum‑venture funding during 2024, while corporates from BP to Barclays spun up quantum‑proof‑of‑concept teams. Despite the cash surge, the sector’s headcount remains tiny. Research by the UK Quantum Skills Taskforce (Lightcast job‑ad data, June 2025) counts about 8,000 quantum‑skilled professionals nationwide—spread across algorithm research, cryogenic hardware, photonics, quantum‑software and adjacent DevOps. Yet monthly live vacancies average 120 – 150 nationwide, occasionally peaking near 200 when multiple start‑ups raise Series A rounds simultaneously. That mismatch turns every credible opening into a high‑stakes contest, and the right recruiter can be the difference between a generic rejection email and a signed offer. But not every tech agency truly “does” quantum. Many wave the buzzword without a single qubit vacancy on the books. To protect your time—and your CV—we vetted 60 + firms and kept only those with rock‑solid evidence of quantum‑computing placements: live job ads, dedicated practice pages, conference sponsorships or original salary research.
