Job Description
We are looking for Java developers, from experienced seniors to hands-on principal engineers, to join long-term greenfield projects with a leading financial institution in London.
You will be part of small, high-calibre engineering teams delivering strategic rebuilds and modernisation projects, replacing legacy systems with clean, cloud-aligned solutions built on Java and modern engineering practices. These are not maintenance roles - they are about writing great code, solving challenging problems, and shaping architecture from the ground up.
You will be joining teams working on genuinely greenfield, strategic rebuilds with clear scope, autonomy, and modern tech stacks. There is little to no BAU work, and plenty of room to shape architecture, influence direction, and own your contributions end-to-end.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
Only hits
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 great opportunity to deepen your Java expertise, work alongside highly capable engineers, and gain exposure to large-scale systems and distributed architectures within major financial organisations with no prior banking experience required.
This is a collaborative, trust-based environment where developers have real autonomy, clear ownership, and meaningful technical input. There is a genuinely friendly culture in the team - people take pride in their craft and support each other to deliver excellent software.
