Fullstack Expertise in Java — National Security

I am working with a national security client seeking an experienced Senior Full Stack Software Engineer with strong expertise in Java, TypeScript, JavaScript and React to join a live project within a Central Government team. This is a hybrid role with a designated base office, alongside regular client engagement.

The Role

  • Design, development and testing of bespoke software solutions
  • Wide use of open-source libraries and components across a varied tech stack
  • Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitLab
  • Deploying to public cloud (AWS, Azure) and private cloud environments
  • Full software lifecycle involvement, from concept and requirements through to delivery, support and maintenance
  • Opportunity to lead teams and manage client engagement, depending on experience

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.
