What You Will Do
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.

- Build and scale a cloud-native security product using C# on.NET Core 10, Terraform, and HTMX within an AWS environment.
- Collaborate face-to-face with technical founders and high-profile customers to translate security research into robust, production-ready detection features.
- Take ownership of end-to-end delivery in a low-bureaucracy environment, shipping code daily and maintaining infrastructure as code for planetary-scale event processing.
The ideal candidate
- Proven track record of shipping software at scale or in critical environments, ideally within a product-focused company or high-growth startup.
- Strong proficiency in any object-oriented language; while we use C#, we value architectural instinct and engineering quality over specific language syntax.
- A proactive builder who thrives in an on-site, collaborative culture and is excited by the pace of an early-stage company defining a new security category.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
