Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Quantum Error Correction Researcher (AMO) - **Company:** Riverlane - **Location:** Cambridge, UK - **Salary:** £60,000.0 - £85,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** C++ (Programming Language), Fault Tolerance, Python (Programming Language), Quantum Computing, Information Technology - **Published:** May 30, 2026 - **Apply:** https://uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=4e899a8594a37747 ## About the Role Do you have experience in Python?, Do you have a Doctoral degree?, * PhD in mathematics, physics, computer science, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience) * Strong problem-solving skills * Knowledge of at least one programming language (Python and/or C++ preferred) * Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team * Strong written and oral communication skills, with the ability to discuss complex ideas with a variety of audiences in a clear and simple way Even better if you have… * Experience in quantum computing * Experience in quantum error correction * Experience with qLDPC codes * Experience in quantum algorithm compilation * Experience with one or more qubit modalities ## Description As a Quantum Error Correction Researcher at Riverlane, you will help us to develop the world's first Quantum Error Correction (QEC) stack that will unlock useful quantum computing. We have a fantastic opportunity to join one of Riverlane's more science-focused quantum error correction teams, dedicated to understanding fault tolerance on realistic hardware architectures. This highly collaborative group brings together mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists and software engineers, working side by side across the stack: from new code families and fault-tolerant logic, through understanding decoding and noise-aware analysis, to algorithm compilation and architecture design. In this role, you will be part of a small sub-team focused on AMO type devices, where you will work on high-impact research projects, combining hands-on technical work with close collaboration across a wider multidisciplinary team, contributing to research and development across the QEC stack. What you will do * Build deep expertise in quantum computing and QEC, particularly focused on AMO qubits * Explore existing and develop new QEC protocols with the freedom to think independently and creatively * Work with hardware partners to develop and optimise QEC protocols for their hardware * Write code to test scientific ideas and contribute to software-focused products * Share expertise and collaborate with other teams at Riverlane to guide development of various parts of Riverlane's products ## Related Videos - [Quantum Computing - How Does It Work, How Will it Affect Us and When?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100293-quantum-computing-how-does-it-work-how-will-it-affect-us-and-when) - [Quantum DevOps - Quantum Application Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1441-quantum-devops-quantum-application-development) - [It's not easy being green](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/558-it-s-not-easy-being-green) - [System Resilience: Surviving the Software Storm](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/874-system-resilience-surviving-the-software-storm) - [Quantum computing for developers: Solving optimization problems with Qiskit](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/777-quantum-computing-for-developers-solving-optimization-problems-with-qiskit) - [Schroedinger's cat: Thinking in- and outside the box of quantum mechanics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/216-schroedinger-s-cat-thinking-in-and-outside-the-box-of-quantum-mechanics) ## Related Articles - [The Fastest-Growing Tech Sectors to Look Out for in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/373-the-fastest-growing-tech-sectors-to-look-out-for-in-2025) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [Data Science & more: The Lopez dilemma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/10-data-science-more-the-lopez-dilemma) - [Dev Digest 138 - Are you secure about this?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/486-dev-digest-138-are-you-secure-about-this)
