Contract Python Engineers – 3–6 Month Contracts
London / Hybrid | £650–£750 pd Outside IR35
I’m working with a heavily VC-backed financial services platform that is going through a really exciting period of global expansion. They’ve built their own technology offering using modern Python and are disrupting a traditionally legacy-heavy sector.
They’re now looking to bring in three technically strong Python Engineers on an initial 3–6 month contract, with the potential for further work.
This is a small, highly technical team, so they’re looking for engineers who can genuinely stand on their own two feet. You’ll be expected to work across the development lifecycle rather than relying on someone else to handle areas such as testing, architecture or data structures.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
They’d particularly like to speak with people who have worked in smaller engineering teams, start-ups or scale-ups, where you’ve had to take ownership rather than being one small part of a huge development function.
