About us 

Riverlane’s mission is to make quantum computing useful, sooner. From advances in material science to complex chemistry simulation for drug design and discovery, quantum computers will help solve some of the world’s most important challenges. Riverlane is building the quantum error correction stack to make this happen. It’s a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion. We’re making remarkable progress and growing fast.  

Quantum error correction (QEC) is quantum computing’s defining technical challenge. All quantum computer makers require QEC technology to achieve the scale that unlocks the industry’s $800 billion in future value.

Riverlane is the only company focused exclusively on QEC technology and we are the clear early leader in this exciting global market. 

About the role  

We have a fantastic opportunity for a talented Product Marketing Manager to help us make Riverlane’s core product, Deltaflow, the runaway leader in the emerging $20 billion+ quantum error correction (QEC) market. Deltaflow is our comprehensive QEC solution that works for all quantum computers, utilising a new class of semiconductors developed by Riverlane.

It’s still early days for Deltaflow and the quantum computing industry, so we’re looking for someone who can help us develop a product marketing strategy from ground zero. Working in a small team that’s focussed on creating and capturing a big, long-term opportunity, the Product Marketing Manager will work closely with the Chief Marketing and Chief Product Officers to consolidate this exciting opportunity worldwide.
