Formed from award-winning designers, developers and academics, Mettle is a design and engineering studio specialising in product and business transformation. Now in our eleventh year, we are going from strength to strength and looking for new, talented Software Engineers to join our team.
We tackle challenges across a diverse range of industries: from health-tech, lab control software and civil infrastructure; to bike lights, smart golf kit and smoothie strategy. We are experts in dealing with the unknown.
The role
You will report directly to Founding Director, Sam Parkinson and together with Sam and four other Developers, help to deliver new software projects for Mettle’s clients.

- The ability to manage your own workload, provide support assistance to clients, and deliver high-quality products under demanding time constraints.
Reasons to use Rodeo

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

Perks:
In addition to your 25 days annual leave, we go on an annual company holiday and host several socials throughout the year to have some fun and pursue passions. We’re also keen to invest in the training and development of our employees.
To apply:
If you think this opportunity is for you the first stage of application is a short coding test we are asking all applicants to carry out so that we can understand your knowledge of a range of coding languages and platforms that we use at Mettle, and also to test your approach to solving logic problems. We will use the results of this test to decide whether we should invite you for an interview.
The test will take up to one hour to complete. Do not start this test unless you have an hour to spare where you are not going to be disturbed.
Make sure you are plugged in to a power supply and have a good internet connection.
There is a time limit on answering each question. A countdown is shown in the top-right corner of the question box.
This test is hard. You will not know everything, and that is fine. Do the best you can and feel free to select “don't know” when you have no idea what the answer is.
Do not refresh your browser during the test.
Please do not use AI tools to complete this test. The test monitors for this, and it will also become obvious during the interview stage if the test results don't reflect your own knowledge. We'd much rather see your honest ability.

Please message if you have any issues. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing how you get on, and talking with you more soon.
