Backend Developer – Java / Spring Boot
We’re looking for an experienced Backend Developer / Java Engineer to join a high-performing engineering team building large-scale, customer-facing applications.
This is an opportunity to work on modern backend systems where Java, Spring Boot, and microservices are central to the technology stack. You’ll be involved in designing and developing scalable services, solving complex technical challenges, and delivering features that have a tangible impact on customers.
The role
You’ll work across the full backend development lifecycle, from technical design and implementation through to deployment and continuous improvement. You’ll be working with distributed systems and large-scale applications, collaborating closely with other engineers and technical stakeholders.
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.
