NYSE: the company] is the world’s leading quantum platform and merchant supplier
- delivering integrated quantum solutions across computing, networking, sensing, and security. the company’s newest generation of quantum computers, the the company Tempo, is the latest in a line of cutting‑edge systems that have been helping customers and partners including Amazon Web Services, and AstraZeneca achieve 20x performance results and accelerate innovation in drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling, logistics, cybersecurity, and defense. In 2025, the company achieved 99.99% two‑qubit gate fidelity, setting a world record in quantum computing performance. Our quantum computing services are available through all major cloud providers, while we also met the needs of networking and sensing customers across land, sea, air, and space. Office commitment: We are looking for an enthusiastic Software Engineer to join our System Orchestration team in System Software at Oxford Ionics. In this role, you will be responsible for building the software that keeps our systems calibrated, decides what they do next and keeps the record of what they did, contributing to the team's mission of keeping our quantum computers running useful work around the clock. The trapped‑ion quantum computers we are building will control 10,000 ions within two years, and all of that has to be kept in tune
- settings that drift over minutes, hours and days. Without it a computer does not stop; Calibration routines, scientists' experiments and customer workloads all compete for physical hardware, and our team builds the control plane that arbitrates that: it schedules and prioritises programs, hands exclusive access to one at a time and takes it back cooperatively, streams results while a program is still running,



and keeps the record of everything that ran. It runs on every quantum computer in our fleet. You'd work closely with the runtime team who own real‑time control, the systems teams who build and maintain our quantum computers, and the operators and scientists who run them. You'll play an important part in shaping the services that support our work in building the world's most advanced quantum systems. In this position, you will work on the services that schedule work onto our quantum computers and keep the record of it, supporting the effective delivery of a control plane the whole fleet depends on. You’ll have the opportunity to own real pieces of that system end to end, contributing directly to the success of the System Software function. Own what we persist: the data model, its migrations, and the code that reads and writes it. Produce the tests and harnesses that let our code be exercised against real hardware and against simulators. Work with the systems teams to roll releases out across the fleet and support them once they are running. Improve the observability of the code you ship. To be successful, you will need solid programming skills, an interest in the systems that keep long‑running machines working, and either experience of a systems programming language or the appetite to learn one. We're looking for someone who can work comfortably in a Linux environment,



cares about what happens to data when a service crashes or a migration goes wrong, and can contribute effectively within a fast moving, highly technical team. Solid programming skills in one or more mainstream programming languages. Experience with a systems programming language. Comfort with relational databases and SQL; we use PostgreSQL. Some exposure to networked services and APIs, such as gRPC or REST. Comfort working on Linux, and debugging a service that is already running. Good communication skills both within software and across disciplines. A habit of producing appropriate tests and taking part in code review. Additional useful experience would include async programming, containers and Kubernetes, closed‑loop systems that act on measured state, and scientific computing or research facilities.

We offer
more than just a role, you’ll join a world class community of scientists, engineers and innovators working to unlock the full potential of quantum computing.
