Our Culture
We are strong believers in meritocracy, and we seek to reward people based on impact and excellence. There is no bureaucracy, typical of large organisations. The environment is collaborative, entrepreneurial, and trust based. We set ambitious goals, work extremely hard, stress the importance of teamwork, and adhere to the highest level of excellence in everything we do. We are only as good as our team. Thus, we are building the firm around exceptional talent.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced Java Software Engineer to join Fasanara Digital and take significant ownership of systems supporting our 24/7 trading activity. The role will focus on the development and maintenance of our multi-venue collateral management platform, alongside new reference data and accounting infrastructure supporting both digital assets and traditional financial markets. This is a hands-on engineering role within a small, high-performing team where engineers have a high degree of ownership and autonomy. You will work across both new development and existing production systems, designing new solutions while maintaining, improving, and scaling established code. The successful candidate will ideally bring experience from financial services, trading, banking, or digital assets, although strong distributed systems experience from another high-performance environment will also be considered.
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.
