2 days a month, 90% home-based
Up to £65,000
We're looking to appoint an Application Security Engineer who wants to work on ensuring the security of a critical UK organisation, with a focus on DevSecOps to ensure security is built into development pipelines and vulnerabilities are identified/resolved early.
The role supports continuous improvement of the organisation’s security posture through effective use of multi-cloud security tooling, application security controls and cloud-native security capabilities. This includes working closely with development teams to embed security tooling, strengthen secure development practices and support adoption of security controls throughout the software development lifecycle.
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.
