The Role
You'll join a small engineering team working on a range of challenging projects built around Java 17+ microservices and streaming technologies. The services you build sit at the heart of the platform, so performance matters: you'll design and ship high-throughput components that process large volumes of financial data reliably. We are building out the team at several levels of experience, so there is scope whether you are a strong mid-level developer or a senior engineer looking for more ownership. You'll work closely with product and fellow engineers in short agile cycles, deploying as soon as work is ready.
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.

Desirable
Knowledge of trading and operations in any asset class, market data, risk, accounting or fund administration would be advantageous, though it is not essential.
This could suit an experienced Java engineer from a financial markets, fintech or high-volume data background, or a strong generalist developer keen to work on performance-critical systems.
