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.

Job Description
We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer.
The role is to build a new Forms capability consisting of a Java 21 / Spring Boot 3 backend service and a React / Vite / TanStack frontend portal, both deployed as containers on AWS EKS.
The solution will reuse existing platform services for users, projects, project assignments, document storage/S3, Cognito authentication and SES email, integrating with them through REST APIs and JWT.


Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Forms will be hard-coded for each use case, rather than generated dynamically from configuration. For each reporting period, the system will create a single immutable submission snapshot, with no version history. Project totals will only be updated once a submission is approved, using a single transactional update.
The application should use one common, scheme-independent codebase, with lightweight configuration applied for each deployment. Production deployments will be separated as required, while lower environments may support multiple configurations.
Additional Information
- Contract Type: Short term contract
- Contract Duration: 1 month with 1 month extension possible
