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

Veterans in Quantum Computing: A Military-to-Civilian Pathway into Quantum-Tech Careers

Introduction Quantum technology is shifting from physics‑lab curiosity to strategic capability. London and Oxford spin‑outs have already attracted £1.4 billion in private investment (UK Quantum Landscape 2024), and HM Treasury’s £2.5 billion National Quantum Strategy (2024‑2034) aims to create 80,000 new jobs by 2030 across computing, sensing, and communications. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) treats quantum supremacy as a national‑security imperative—funding quantum‑safe cryptography pilots and battlefield quantum‑sensing via Dstl and the Defence Quantum Technologies Centre (DQTC). For veterans, quantum shouldn’t feel alien. Whether maintaining chilled infrared sensors, securing cryptographic keys, or troubleshooting avionics at 3 a.m., you have cultivated the rigour, resilience, and security clearance that quantum employers crave. This guide shows how to translate military experience into quantum‑computing careers, leverage MoD transition programmes, and land roles building tomorrow’s most powerful machines.
