Software Engineer

We are supporting a cutting edge deep tech company in London that is building full stack photonic quantum systems designed to transform how organisations run machine learning, generative AI, and large scale optimisation workloads. Their technology is already deployed in multiple real world environments, and they re now entering a major growth phase as they prepare to launch their next generation system. This is a rare opportunity to work on production grade quantum classical systems, collaborating directly with physicists, hardware engineers, and platform specialists to bring advanced quantum capabilities into modern AI and data centre ecosystems. You ll join the core software team responsible for the systems layer that connects quantum hardware to classical compute infrastructure. This includes designing and optimising the software that orchestrates quantum control, manages low latency data paths, and ensures reliable operation in demanding environments. You will: Design, build, and optimise core systems software in Python (with C++ or Rust also valuable) Own critical platform components, improving latency, throughput, reliability, and operability Develop low latency interfaces between quantum hardware and classical compute systems Work closely with physicists and hardware teams to integrate new platforms (FPGAs, lasers, scientific instrumentation) from prototype to production Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines, observability tooling, and deployment workflows for on prem ..... full job details .....
