Salary: Up to £80,000 + Benefits

Shape the Future of Software Engineering
We're looking for an AI-Native Software Engineer to help redefine how software is designed, delivered and operated in an AI-powered world. This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking technology team where you'll solve complex business challenges, influence engineering standards, and help build the frameworks, guardrails and verification systems that enable the delivery of high-quality software at scale.
Rather than focusing solely on writing code, you'll be responsible for building reliable, observable and resilient systems while championing modern AI-native engineering practices. Success in this role is measured by customer outcomes, system reliability and engineering excellence.
What You'll Be Doing
- Designing scalable, resilient and observable software systems.
- Translating complex business requirements into clear technical solutions.
- Defining architectural standards, boundaries and best practices.
- Building automated testing, quality and verification frameworks.
- Driving AI-native delivery approaches across engineering teams.
- Capturing and documenting knowledge to improve collaboration between engineers and AI systems.
- Mentoring colleagues and helping evolve engineering capability across the organisation.
- Connecting technical decisions to measurable business outcomes.
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.
