About us 

Riverlane’s mission is to make quantum computing useful, sooner. From advances in material science to complex chemistry simulation for drug design and discovery, quantum computers will help solve some of the world’s most important challenges. Riverlane is building the quantum error correction stack to make this happen. It’s a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion. We’re making remarkable progress and growing fast. 

 

About the role 

This is a fantastic opportunity for a recently qualified or finals standard Patent Attorney who is keen to develop an in-house career in a world-leading quantum engineering company. In this role, you’ll use your experience working with computer software and hardware inventions to help manage Riverlane’s rapidly-growing IP portfolio. 

 

Reporting to the IP Manager, and in close collaboration with our quantum science and engineering teams, you will be responsible for drafting and prosecuting patents, both in-house, and in collaboration with outside counsel. Over time, you will help Riverlane to build a fully defensible moat to enable our company’s competitive advantage. 

 

A natural collaborator, you will be passionate about learning new technologies and will be excited to contribute to the exciting and cutting-edge field of quantum computing. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded Patent Attorney to develop your in-house IP career in a world-leading, deep tech organisation. 

 

What you will do 

  • Work closely with Riverlane engineers and scientists to solicit, identify and assess inventions and draft patent applications in quantum technologies 
  • Prosecute patent applications in key global jurisdictions, using a timely and cost-effective approach 
  • Raise levels of understanding and awareness of the commercial impact on IP within Riverlane 
  • Work with the IP Manager to develop and refine Riverlane’s IP strategy 
  • Understand the quantum landscape and Riverlane’s roadmap to effectively appraise the commercial relevance and importance of patent rights 
  • Perform freedom to operate analyses and monitoring 
  • Undertake prior art searches 
  • Give decisive infringement evaluations 
  • Keep up to date with intellectual property law by reading relevant literature and attending relevant courses and conferences 
  • Foster a positive IP culture 

Requirements

What we need  

  • Qualified or part-qualified UK and/or European patent attorney 
  • Experience working with deep tech inventions, including hardware and software-related technologies 
  • Ability to analyse complex technical systems and identify those systems’ essential features 
  • Ability to generate clear, focused, and accurate arguments at legal hearings concerning patents and patent applications 
  • Proven success working in a fast-paced environment, delivering against multiple work streams 
  • Excellent communicator, with exceptional relationship-building and interpersonal skills 
  • Meticulous attention to detail 
  • Ability to explain complex information clearly and concisely 

 

Even better if you have

  • Experience working with quantum technologies is preferred, but not essential 

Benefits

What can you expect from us 

  • A comprehensive benefits package that includes private medical insurance, life insurance and a contributory pension scheme 
  • Equity so that our team can share in the long-term success of Riverlane 
  • 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays and enhanced family leave 
  • A diverse work environment that brings together experts in many fields (including software and hardware development, quantum information theory, physics and maths) and over 20 different nationalities  
  • A learning environment that encourages individual, team and company growth and learning, including an annual training and conference budget
