About the role:

ABBYY Vantage is our flagship Document AI platform – a cloud-native, microservices-based product that combines purpose-built AI, OCR, NLP, and direct LLM integration to help enterprise customers extract, classify, and act on data from any document. Vantage 3.0, our latest release, introduces native Azure OpenAI integration, enterprise-grade compliance and redaction, a real-time analytics dashboard, and a growing library of pre-configured AI skills. Over 10,000 customers trust ABBYY – including Fortune 500 companies like DHL, Johnson & Johnson, FDA, PwC, KeyBank, Spotify, and H&R Block – to automate their most complex document workflows.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Vantage engineering team. You will be a hands-on contributor building and evolving the services that power Vantage's document AI capabilities – from OCR pipelines and skill training workflows to API integrations and analytics infrastructure. You bring strong engineering fundamentals, a quality-first mindset, and a drive to deliver reliable, scalable software in a cloud-native environment.

Job Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Development: Design, develop, test, and deploy features and services within the Vantage platform, contributing to areas such as document processing pipelines, AI skill management, cloud infrastructure, and API layers.
• Code Quality: Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code; actively participate in code reviews and champion engineering best practices across your team.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, UX designers, ML engineers, and fellow software engineers to translate Vantage feature requirements into well-architected solutions.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify and surface improvements to existing Vantage services, tooling, and delivery workflows; contribute to reducing technical debt and increasing engineering velocity.
• System Reliability: Monitor the health and performance of Vantage cloud services; investigate and resolve production incidents in a timely manner.
• Technical Growth: Stay current with advances in Document AI, cloud-native patterns, and GenAI integration approaches that could enhance the Vantage platform.

Job Requirements:

• 5–9 years of professional software engineering experience with deep expertise in C++

• Demonstrated ability to work with multiple programming languages, and willingness to work with both C# .NET and C++

• Proven experience designing, implementing, and operating CI/CD pipelines for building, testing, and deploying workflows using GitHub Actions and/or Azure DevOps Pipelines

• Good understanding of microservices architecture, distributed system design, and cloud-native patterns at enterprise scale

• Demonstrated track record of delivering high-quality, testable code

• Strong analytical and debugging skills with the ability to investigate complex issues across distributed systems

Desired Qualifications

• Experience in cloud, preferably using Microsoft Azure (AKS, Storage, Key Vaults, Azure SQL or equivalent)

• Hands-on experience designing and operating workflow-driven systems (orchestration, retries, timeouts, and state management)

• Experience integrating Machine Learning, Neural Networks or LLMs into enterprise applications and workflows

• Familiarity with OCR, NLP and computer vision technologies

• Comfort operating across a globally distributed engineering organization spanning multiple regions and cultures
