The opportunity
We're looking for multiple experienced Senior Software Engineers to join a growing consultancy delivering complex, mission-critical software across Central Government, lots of interesting AI investment and work too.
You'll be joining an Agile engineering team building bespoke software solutions from the ground up, working on projects that have a genuine real-world impact. This is a hands-on role where you'll have the opportunity to work across the full software lifecycle – from requirements and design through to development, testing, deployment and ongoing support.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The environment is predominantly Java, alongside TypeScript/JavaScript, with applications deployed across AWS, Azure and private cloud environments.
You'll also have the opportunity to influence technical decisions, mentor other engineers and work directly with clients, making this a strong next step for an experienced developer looking for more ownership without moving away from hands-on engineering.
What we're looking for
- Strong commercial Java experience
- Full-stack development experience ideally with TypeScript, JavaScript or React
- Experience working with AWS and/or Azure
- CI/CD experience with tools such as GitLab
- Good understanding of software design, development and testing
- Comfortable working across the full software development lifecycle
- Experience mentoring engineers or taking ownership of technical work is beneficial
- Consultancy experience beneficial but not essential

Benefits
- £60,000 - £85,000
- Flexible working hours and remote or office working (locations: Bristol, Chel, London or Manchester)
- 5 days' external training plus dedicated L&D budget
- Dedicated Career Coach and technical guilds
- Matched pension and healthcare
- Regular socials and company events
- Clear opportunities to progress into Technical Lead and wider leadership roles
A great opportunity for experienced engineers looking for interesting technical challenges, modern full-stack development and more ownership over the software they build.
