At OQC, we aren’t just theorising about the future; we’re building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we’ve transitioned quantum computing from an academic ambition into a commercial reality—and we’re just getting started.
The Purpose
Join the team integrating novel hardware and software into quantum computing systems, developing prototypes and proving out new capabilities alongside engineers and scientists in quantum control and hardware.
As an Associate Quantum Software Engineer, you’ll develop effective software that takes technical concepts through to integrated systems, helping to add functionality and performance to OQC’s quantum computers.
You’ll develop software from the first working examples through to reliable features. Working closely with quantum engineers, you’ll turn system requirements into working prototypes and contribute to our Python-based control stack, building the experiments and tooling needed to demonstrate new capabilities and enable increasingly sophisticated processor operation.
We’re looking for someone with an interest in engineering solutions to varied problems, a passion for learning and a desire to work in a multidisciplinary, open team. This role could be a good fit if you’ve enjoyed experimental work, hardware projects, coding or self-directed research—and communicating what you’ve learned and the ideas you’d like to explore.
