What will you be doing?
As a technical authority in integration and API design, you’ll set the standards that shape how our systems connect—defining integration patterns, ensuring architectural consistency and driving secure, scalable solutions across the organisation. You’ll stay hands-on with AWS technologies like Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge and SQS/SNS, building reusable components, frameworks and high-quality code while championing modern engineering practices including CI/CD, automated testing and DevSecOps.
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.
