🚀 The Opportunity

A leading UK national initiative in quantum computing and advanced technologies is expanding its software engineering group, responsible for building the control, compiler, and runtime infrastructure that powers next-generation quantum systems.

You’ll work alongside scientists, engineers, and developers designing large-scale software systems for quantum hardware control, hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, and high-performance simulation.

This is a rare opportunity to join a publicly funded R&D programme at the cutting edge of computing — helping the UK accelerate progress toward a quantum-ready economy.

🧩 The Role

You’ll contribute to the development of a modern .NET (C#) software platform that interfaces with advanced computing hardware and research environments.

Your work will include:

Building and optimising compilers and runtimes for emerging quantum architectures
Developing hybrid classical/quantum algorithm frameworks
Integrating HPC tools, web interfaces, and emulation systems
Collaborating within Agile, cross-disciplinary teams of physicists, engineers, and software specialists

⚙️ Core Skills

Strong C# / .NET development experience
Solid understanding of compiler engineering or systems architecture
Proficiency in software design, development, and testing
Experience with Windows, Visual Studio, and DevOps tools

Desirable:

Exposure to Python, C++, or Rust
Familiarity with CI/CD, Kubernetes, or HPC environments
Background in embedded systems, UI/UX, or enterprise integration
Interest or experience in quantum programming languages (Q#, Qiskit, Cirq, etc.)
Academic or research experience (MSc/PhD or equivalent)

🌍 Why It’s Worth Your Attention

Be part of the UK’s national effort in next-generation computing
Work across the full software-hardware stack
Join a multi-disciplinary R&D team shaping future technology standards
Enjoy public-sector benefits, flexibility, and long-term career stability
You don’t need prior quantum experience — just engineering excellence and curiosity

🛡 Security

Due to the nature of the projects, successful candidates must have lived in the UK continuously for five years to meet baseline security clearance requirements (SC level).
