Why hire a Quantum-Ready Programmer offshore
This is a rare, expensive skill to hire in the UK. A dedicated offshore specialist gives you early, affordable access to quantum-readiness and PQC-migration capability before it becomes urgent.
Whichever hub fits the role — Sri Lanka or the Philippines — TalentDock is the legal employer. We handle contracts, payroll, equipment, IT and HR, and cover the data-protection footing (DPA and the UK IDTA for restricted transfers). Because your hire is employed overseas and works wholly outside the UK, there’s no employer NIC, no auto-enrolment pension, and no IR35 status determination for you to make.
General information, not legal or tax advice — confirm your position with a qualified UK adviser.
A dedicated Quantum-Ready Programmer for up to 70% less
Compared with the true cost of a UK hire — salary, NICs, pension, equipment and recruitment fees — one all-in monthly fee, one invoice.
Common questions
Is quantum relevant to us yet?
For most, the priority is post-quantum cryptography readiness — protecting today’s data against future decryption. Early planning is prudent.
Do we need quantum hardware?
No — the work is largely algorithm design, code readiness and migration planning on standard tooling and simulators.
How niche is this hire?
Very — which is exactly why offshore access to the skill, without a full UK R&D salary, is valuable.
