Founding Software Engineer / £70K + Equity / Remote (UK)
Want to join a startup where you'll genuinely have the opportunity to shape the product from the beginning?
You'll join an engineering software startup that's building a new generation of simulation technology, with a roadmap in place to branch out.
The product already works and has been technically validated. Now they need an engineer to help turn that prototype into a polished commercial product.
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.
