Looking for a role where you'll build modern software, work with the latest engineering practices and continue to grow your career?
I'm working with a leading FinTech that's investing heavily in technology and modernising its platform. As they continue to scale, they're looking for a Java Engineer to join a growing engineering team working on business-critical products and large-scale platform transformation.
This is an opportunity to work on modern, cloud-native applications, collaborate with experienced engineers and gain exposure to AI-assisted development tools, helping shape the way software is built across the business.
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.
