About us

Riverlane's mission is to make quantum computing useful far sooner than previously thought possible, unlocking a new age of human progress. We're doing so by solving Quantum Error Correction (QEC), the field's defining technical challenge.

From accelerating clean energy technology to designing life-saving new drugs, quantum computers will help solve some of the world's most intractable problems. QEC technology is critical for unlocking such possibilities.

That's why we're building Deltaflow , chip-based QEC technology that will enable all quantum computers to unlock their full scale and potential. And QEC Explorer, software and education tools to enable a global community of developers and learners to start the QEC journey.

Riverlane partners with many of the world's leading quantum computer companies, governments, high-performance computing (HPC) centres and labs. Last year, we raised $75 million in Series C funding to accelerate our journey. We're making remarkable progress and growing fast. Join us!

About the role

This is a unique opportunity for a talented B2B technology marketeer to shape and lead product marketing for both Deltaflow and QEC Explorer. Riverlane is positioned to be the unrivalled leader in the nascent $20 billion QEC market via these two product platforms. You will help us realise this generational opportunity.

Deltaflow is a 'QEC stack' comprising proprietary Riverlane chips, error-decoding technology and software. We sell this to full stack quantum computer makers and governments.

QEC Explorer is a platform on which a new generation of QEC learners and professionals start their journey. It comprises an open-source SDK and QEC education resources. We are launching this later this year, including a new name.

McKinsey estimates the value of the quantum computing market to exceed $1 trillion by 2035. But that value has yet to be fully unlocked. This fantastic role offers a rare opportunity to join a leading company and industry at the critical pivot point from scientific research to product adoption and commercialisation. Sound exciting?
