Location: Remote (UK & Ireland) with expensed client travel to Dublin 2-3 days per month

Salary: Up to £72,000 + package

We're recruiting for an experienced Senior Java Engineer to join a high-profile payments programme delivering large-scale transformation initiatives within the banking sector.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Designing and developing enterprise-scale payment applications using Java and Spring Boot
  • Building and supporting microservices-based solutions within AWS cloud environments
  • Working with Apache Kafka and event-driven architectures
  • Delivering solutions aligned to ISO 20022 payment standards and schemes
  • Implementing and enhancing ICON IPF payment framework capabilities
  • Collaborating closely with banking stakeholders, architects, and delivery teams
  • Contributing to technical design, best practices, and engineering excellence across the programme

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.
