Junior Developer Jobs in Cambridge

Cambridge is the densest deep-tech / R&D hiring market in the UK — ARM, AstraZeneca, MedImmune, plus a rotating cast of well-funded biotech and AI startups. Pay for specialist research roles tracks London or higher; graduate pay is competitive with London too.

Genuine junior developer roles in the UK have become harder to find post-2022 as companies trim entry-level headcount — but they exist, especially at scale-ups and within graduate schemes. Pay ranges £30-50k; the highest-quality first jobs prioritise mentorship and code-review density over headline salary.
