C++ Software Developer | Data Infrastructure

London | C++ | Microservices | Distributed Systems | Linux

We're looking for an experienced C++ Software Developer to build the high-performance data infrastructure that powers quantitative research and trading.

You'll develop low-latency microservices responsible for processing, storing and delivering large-scale datasets, working alongside quantitative researchers, data engineers, and software engineers to build scalable, resilient systems where performance is critical.

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.
