Java Software Engineer - 1x per week in North East England

Senior Java Contract - outside IR35

Remote with 1 day per week in Stockton on Tees - DL2

£550 to £600 per day

I’m recruiting for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join a business-critical modernisation programme.

The focus will be on improving and modernising existing applications, reducing AWS operating costs, simplifying services with the aim of tackling technical debt across a complex 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.
