About the Role
You are building systems that sit right next to live trading decisions. You will be part of a small engineering team, which means you own what you build. There is no large layer of developers to hide behind. You write it, you ship it, you are responsible for it. That kind of ownership is hard to find in a larger organisation, and here it comes as standard.
Day to day you are writing Java across systems that support trading operations. The closer you get to the trading side of a business, the more interesting the engineering tends to get, and this role puts you right there.
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.
