Compiler Engineer

In this role you help build the compiler and runtime stack for fault-tolerant quantum computing at Riverlane. You will design and ship tools that enable researchers and hardware partners to write and run fault-tolerant programs on quantum hardware. You’ll work with scientists and engineers to implement new QEC codes and runtimes, contributing to a fast-moving, open-source quantum software stack. You’ll thrive in a collaborative, learning-focused environment shaping next-generation quantum software.
