C++ Software Engineer – Packages Up to £400K – London

C++ Software Engineer – Financial Technology

Location: London

Compensation: Total Package Up to £400,000

Sector: Financial Technology

Overview

We’re currently hiring a talented C++ Engineer to join a high-performing, technology-driven team in London, contributing to the development of highly optimised, large-scale systems within the financial sector.

You’ll work in a fast-paced, deeply technical environment alongside elite engineers, shaping next-generation platforms where performance, efficiency, and scalability are key priorities. This role offers real ownership—the chance to influence system design and broader technical direction.

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.
