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.
You'll play a key role in developing and supporting reporting and analytics solutions that provide trusted insights to almost a quarter of a million users across multiple government departments.
Working with Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence (FDI/AIDP), Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI) and other modern cloud technologies, you'll design, build and maintain reporting products, data pipelines, datasets and integrations that deliver trusted management information and actionable insights.
You'll collaborate with stakeholders to understand business needs, translate requirements into effective reporting solutions and support the delivery of scalable, reusable products. You'll also contribute across the full reporting development lifecycle, including design, testing, deployment, maintenance and continuous improvement.
Using your problem-solving skills and attention to detail, you'll help ensure data quality, reliability and performance, while applying engineering standards and testing practices throughout the development process.
As part of a supportive and inclusive team, you'll work alongside reporting and data professionals, share knowledge, embrace new technologies and help drive improvements that enhance services for colleagues and customers across government.
