About us
Riverlane’s mission is to master quantum error correction (QEC) and unlock a new age of human progress. From advances in material and climate science, to complex chemistry simulation for new drug design, quantum computers will help humanity solve some of its most important challenges. But without QEC, the industry’s defining technical challenge, such breakthroughs can never be achieved. Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion.
We recently raised $75 million to accelerate our cutting-edge R&D. We partner with many of the world’s leading quantum computing companies and governments to accelerate their path to utility-scale quantum computers. We’re making remarkable progress and growing fast. Join us!
About the role
We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Digital Design Engineer to join us as we build the world’s first quantum error correction (QEC) stack. Don’t have a background in quantum computing? Not a problem! This cutting-edge technology requires a wide range of skills and disciplines, including classical computing skills. You will learn quantum computing along the way.
As a senior-level Digital Design Engineer at Riverlane, you will help develop a multi-FPGA, low-latency, high throughput system that needs to perform complex operations, in a predictable and guaranteed way. You will use your knowledge and expertise to support more junior engineers, interact with software and identify novel solutions to our challenging problems.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join Riverlane’s Decode team, that is developing the world’s most advanced decoding algorithms. These algorithms are the beating heart of Deltaflow and are also used for cutting-edge research. The team is a mix of mathematicians, physicists and engineers, working together on a range of exciting and cutting-edge projects.
Our mission is exciting, but complex. It requires teams with a wide range of skills and perspectives, that communicate well and collaborate effectively to achieve truly innovative solutions.
You will thrive in an environment where knowledge sharing and continuous learning are the norm. We are moving fast in a brand new market, where requirements can change quickly as the technology evolves, so the ability to adapt is critical.
What you will do
As a Senior/Staff Digital Design Engineer at Riverlane, you will work on one of these key areas:
In performing the above, you will (often from scratch) design or integrate complex IPs and develop tests, collaborating closely with our Software, Verification and Testing experts to deliver an outstanding product.

Riverlane builds ground-breaking software to unleash the power of quantum computers. Backed by leading venture-capital funds and the University of Cambridge, we develop software that transforms quantum computers from experimental technology into commercial products. We tease the highest possible performance out of quantum software to reach quantum advantage sooner. By going deep into the stack, our hardware partners can focus on the physics and build better full-stack solutions. We work with the chemical, pharmaceutical and materials industries to improve algorithms and specify early killer applications of quantum computers. Our world-leading, multi-disciplinary team has a razor-sharp focus on doing whatever it takes to get to useful quantum computing, sooner.
