Graduate Software Engineer – Reinsurance
£55K + 15% Bonus + Bens
A high-performance City based team that develops an industry-leading portfolio management system are looking to hire a couple of graduate engineers. You will work with a small performance-driven team (7 people) to help create solutions that help solve complex business problems.
Profile:
- Graduated in either 2025 or 2026 in CS or Maths
- Must have internship or placement experience
- Must have some commercial programming experience (Python, C#, C++ or Java)
- Experience of SQL
- Strong problem-solving ability
- Strong communication skills
This role will see you interface with all areas of the business (underwriting, actuarial, finance and investor relations) and will provide you with the opportunity to learn about topics such as catastrophe modelling, capital raising and loss simulation, and in turn applying these learning to the systems that you build.
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.
