Head of Research Software & Integrations (Spain)

As Head of Research Software & Integrations, you’ll build and lead the software capability in Spain that enables OQC’s next generation of quantum technology. You’ll bring together research software, logical compilation, HPC and systems integration to accelerate scientific discovery-giving our researchers the high-quality software and computational capabilities they need to move from ideas to results, faster., Based in Spain and reporting to our Director of Software Engineering, you’ll lead the Research Software Engineering, Logical Compilation and Systems Integrations teams. This is a hands-on technical leadership role: you’ll set direction, shape architecture and make critical engineering decisions while building and developing the teams that deliver against OQC’s research ambitions. You’ll work closely with Research leadership and the wider Software organisation, balancing the speed and flexibility required for experimentation with the engineering discipline needed as software matures towards reliable production use. What You’ll Be Working On

• Lead and grow OQC’s Research Software Engineering, Logical Compilation and Systems Integrations teams in Spain, setting clear priorities and accountability for delivery.
• Set technical direction and actively shape software and tooling architectures, ensuring local decisions align with OQC’s wider engineering standards and technology strategy.
• Partner with Research teams to turn complex and ambiguous scientific challenges into effective software capabilities that accelerate experimentation and technology discovery.
• Lead research software and simulation tooling from early concepts through to production use, creating extensible solutions that can evolve rapidly alongside our research.
• Develop integrations between OQC’s quantum computing stack, HPC environments, third-party systems and relevant community tools to enable sophisticated computational workflows.
• Work across Platform Engineering, Compiler Development, Data Management and Research to manage dependencies, prioritise demand and focus resources on the highest-value technical outcomes.
• Build a high-performing software organisation in Spain, developing technical leaders, shaping recruitment and team structures, and representing OQC through external technical and research collaborations., You will join a world-class team at the forefront of the next computational era. We offer a culture of bold innovation, the chance to work with unique lab infrastructure, and the opportunity to see your work redefine the limits of computation.
