Application Engineer, Cambridge (Hybrid), £60k to £100k DOE

Avanti Recruitment is partnering with a well-established award-winning AI software company that builds advanced technology used by leading organisations to manage and analyse large volumes of complex documents.

This is an opportunity to join a growing application engineering team working on production-grade systems at the intersection of software engineering, data, and applied AI.

THE ROLE

As an Application Engineer, you will work within a cross-functional product team, building and scaling features that are used directly by customers.

  • Develop full stack features across a large, complex platform
  • Work with high-volume, data-heavy systems where performance and scalability matter
  • Collaborate closely with product managers, QA, and AI-focused R&D teams
  • Take ownership of features from design through to production and iteration
  • Contribute ideas and improvements rather than working from rigid specifications

TECH ENVIRONMENT

  • Modern frontend frameworks (with an ongoing migration to React)
  • PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Redis
  • AWS, Docker, Kubernetes

WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR

  • Strong academic background in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related discipline (1st or 2.1 from a good University)

  • Strong problem-solving ability and logical thinking
