Hybrid / Flexible Working (Must be UK based)
WRK digital are proud to be the exclusive recruitment partner for an award-winning digital product and technology consultancy that is scaling rapidly due to a number of exciting client projects, new platform developments and product improvement initiatives.
We're looking for experienced Software Engineering Consultants who thrive in complex environments, enjoy solving difficult technical challenges and want to work closely with clients to shape products, platforms and technology decisions.
This isn't a role where you'll simply deliver tickets from a backlog.
You'll work directly with clients, contribute to architecture and technical strategy, build modern software products and leverage AI-enabled development practices to help teams deliver value at exceptional pace.
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.
