Java Developer – Step Into Low Latency Location: Fully Remote | Permanent | up to £130k + bonus and equity
About the Role I'm working with a technology company looking to hire a Java Developer to join a highly technical engineering team focused on building high-performance, distributed systems.
This is an excellent opportunity for a strong Java engineer looking to move into the world of low-latency software engineering. You don't need an extensive background in low-latency development, but you should have excellent Java fundamentals, enjoy solving complex technical problems, and be keen to learn from experienced engineers.
What You'll Be Doing
- Designing and developing high-performance Java applications.
- Building scalable, resilient software used in demanding production environments.
- Working closely with experienced engineers on performance-critical systems.
- Contributing to architecture, design discussions and code reviews.
- Continuously improving performance, reliability and maintainability across the platform.
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.
