The Role

We are looking for an experienced Functional Tester to join a government programme focused on biometric matching technology. This is an exciting opportunity to work on a highly secure, business-critical system where you will be responsible for designing, developing, and executing automated tests against complex backend services.

As the solution has no user interface, you will be testing directly through web services and APIs, creating comprehensive test scenarios, input messages, and expected outputs to validate biometric workflows and matching capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and execute automated tests for biometric workflows and matching services.
  • Create and maintain test scripts for backend web service testing.
  • Construct test inputs, messages, and expected outputs across a wide variety of scenarios.
  • Automate the generation of test data and test inputs to improve delivery efficiency.
  • Perform both functional and non-functional testing, including performance and operability testing.
  • Analyse test results, identify defects, and work closely with development teams to resolve issues.
  • Maintain accurate test artefacts and reporting within agreed tooling and processes.

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.
