A leading Financial Services organisation is looking to appoint a Java Developer to join an established Agile engineering team responsible for developing and enhancing a suite of enterprise applications.

This is an excellent opportunity for a developer with a couple of years commercial Java experience who enjoys building high-quality software in a collaborative environment. You'll work alongside experienced engineers, contributing across the full software development lifecycle and helping to deliver modern, scalable solutions that support key business functions.

The role is predominantly remote, with one day per week in the Leicester office. It is offering a base of £60,000 + excellent benefits.

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.
