Formal Methods Engineer
Location: Oxfordshire offices + hybrid working options
We’re looking for a Formal Methods Engineer to join a growing engineering team working on complex, high-assurance software systems.
You’ll use formal methods, mathematical reasoning and verification techniques to solve challenging engineering problems and help demonstrate that software behaves as intended. You’ll work closely with software, systems and verification engineers, with plenty of scope to apply your technical knowledge rather than simply follow a process.
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.
