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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a key build focused on MiFID II transaction reporting, trade transparency, and instrument data — replacing a legacy system with a cloud-native microservices architecture (Java 17, Spring Boot, AWS, CI/CD).
You’d be working closely with BAs, compliance SMEs, and QAs to deliver genuinely business-critical features.
Key highlights
- Greenfield build – no legacy codebase
- Cloud-native tech stack (Java, Spring Boot, AWS, GitHub Actions, Jenkins)
- Regulatory focus (MiFID II, EMIR, SFTR, etc.)
Responsibilities
- Design and implement scalable, cloud-native backend components using Java and Spring Boot
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver features supporting transaction reporting, pre/post-trade transparency, and venue/instrument data flows
- Translate regulatory requirements into robust, auditable technical solutions
- Participate in Agile ceremonies and contribute to design, development, testing, and documentation
- Write unit, integration, and functional tests; support automated test pipelines
- Deploy services in AWS and contribute to CI/CD pipeline development
