Application Engineer

Application Engineer Cambridge | £45,000 - £75,000 bonus | Hiring across mid to senior levels | Cutting-edge tech environment Are you a graduate from one of the UK’s top 10 Russell Group universities, with strong mathematics foundations and a passion for algorithmic problem-solving? Do you want to apply your analytical brain in a role where you’ll shape how software supports complex, mission-critical tasks? If so, this might be the opportunity you’ve been looking for. What you’ll be doing You’ll build and optimise web-based applications used by specialist teams, taking mathematical and algorithmic challenges and turning them into robust software solutions. You’ll work in an environment where questions like “How do we structure data to represent this real-world problem?” and “What algorithm will scale for millions of records?” are part of your day-to-day. Collaborate across product, engineering and domain-expert teams to design logical architectures, define data models, and implement performant systems. Contribute to an engineering culture that values clean code, testability, and continuous improvement, helping elevate the team’s technical standards. As you grow, you may mentor more junior engineers and become a go-to for one or more technology areas. We’re looking for: A 1st from a top Russell Group university (Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, or related field) Strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving techniques Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, C++, or similar) Excellent communication skills and a genuine passion for tackling complex problems Why join: This role sits at the heart of a truly growing technology business in Cambridge. You’ll join a team pulling together algorithmic depth with real-world user requirements. Your contribution will be visible: the software you help build is used globally, and you’ll work alongside some of the most talented engineers, data-scientists and domain-experts in the field. If you’re ready to step into a role that challenges you mathematically, technically and creatively—then we’d love to hear from you.
