IAM Engineer
Contract Opportunity | Tier 1 Bank | Day Rate Inside IR35
Remote (must be UK based with RTW)
A major global financial services organisation is undertaking a 5+ year transformation of its Identity & Access Management (IAM) capability, introducing modern technology and engineering practices across authentication, authorisation and human and non-human identity.
We’re looking for an experienced IAM Engineer to join a highly skilled engineering team responsible for building and supporting modern, cloud-native identity services at significant enterprise scale.
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.
