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.&nbsp;&nbsp;Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skills,&nbsp;talent&nbsp;and passion.&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span class="TextRun SCXW243923852 BCX8" lang="EN-US" data-contrast="none"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW243923852 BCX8">Having raised more than $125M in funding to date to accelerate our&nbsp;</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW243923852 BCX8">cutting-edge</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW243923852 BCX8">&nbsp;R&amp;D in quantum error correction (QEC), Riverlane partners with many of the world’s leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a reality.&nbsp;</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW243923852 BCX8">We’re</span><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW243923852 BCX8">&nbsp;making remarkable progress and growing fast. </span></span><span class="EOP SCXW243923852 BCX8" data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">About the role:</span></strong></p> <p><span data-contrast="none">Riverlane’s&nbsp;overarching mission is making quantum computing useful sooner.&nbsp;Di</span><span data-contrast="none">fferent&nbsp;quantum&nbsp;architectures require&nbsp;different solutions&nbsp;to quantum error correction.&nbsp;We&nbsp;</span><span data-contrast="none">are seeking a technical leader for our new software-based quantum error correction stack, DF-AMO.
