About the Company
Our client is a growing digital asset and fintech firm helping institutional clients integrate digital assets into their portfolios, offering solutions spanning spot trading, fixed income strategies and options. Founded in 2017, the business has navigated multiple market cycles and built a reputation as a trusted bridge between institutional and crypto ecosystems. It's a tightly-knit team where engineers are given genuine autonomy and a direct voice in how the business builds and scales its technology.
The Role
As a Software Engineer, you'll work across the design, architecture and build of enterprise systems that support trading, operations and risk functions. You'll have real ownership over tools, reports and feeds that directly serve the business, and you'll collaborate closely with heads of business lines and front office trading to implement and maintain critical systems. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants exposure to a broad technical remit and direct access to senior stakeholders, in a business that values substance over form.
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.
