About the role

Cambridge, UK | Full-time | Permanent | Hybrid  Salary: £72,000 to £90,000 DOE    We will also consider part-time applications for this role. Please indicate your preferred working schedule in your cover letter.     About us  Riverlane’s mission is to master quantum error correction (QEC) and unlock a new age of human progress. 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. Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion.  Having raised more than $125M in funding to date to accelerate our cutting-edge R&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. We’re making remarkable progress and growing fast.    About the role  <a href="https://www.riverlane.com/deltaflow">Deltaflow</a> is Riverlane’s flagship QEC product. As Senior Product Manager for the Deltaflow product line, you’ll help shape how deep quantum error‑correction research becomes products that customers can use, trust and build on.  You’ll sit at the centre of Riverlane’s product work, spending time with customers and partners to understand how they use, and want to use, Deltaflow, and working closely with researchers and engineers to turn into clear product direction. You’ll use customer insight, product data and market developments to guide priorities and ensure we focus on solving the problems that matter most.  Alongside this, you’ll define and evolve Deltaflow’s product strategy and roadmap, balancing long‑term ambition with what’s technically and commercially achievable. You’ll help align teams across research, engineering, business development and marketing, navigate trade‑offs, and adapt plans as new insights and opportunities emerge.  You’ll also play an active role in bringing Deltaflow to market: supporting launches, joining customer conversations, and helping shape the materials that explain what Deltaflow can do and why it matters. Throughout, you’ll stay close to delivery, ensuring product plans remain grounded in reality and responsive to change.    What you will do In practice, this includes:  <ul> <li data-leveltext=""
