Love building secure software and digging into hard problems? This one's for you.
Our client is a growing cyber security team, and they need a hands-on engineer who wants to build, break and research, not spend their days in meetings.
The role
You'll be writing real code on real cyber projects. Some leadership and mentoring may come your way, but the heart of this job is development, problem-solving and applied research.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll be doing
- Designing, building and maintaining secure software across the full lifecycle.
- Working with a small, close-knit team to deliver quality work on time.
- Talking directly to customers and stakeholders to shape what gets built.
- Contributing to applied research that pushes their cyber capabilities forward.
- Sharing knowledge with peers and occasionally guiding junior engineers.
