Java Software Engineer

We’re working with a leading technology business within the iGaming, sports betting, and lottery space, looking for a Senior Java Engineer to join their Sports engineering team.

This is a great opportunity for a strong hands-on Java developer who enjoys mentoring others, taking technical ownership, and helping drive engineering standards, without necessarily wanting to step away from the code.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Developing and delivering high-quality backend software
  • Working closely with Product and Engineering teams across the SDLC
  • Mentoring and supporting other engineers
  • Championing engineering best practices and continuous improvement
  • Taking ownership of technical delivery and helping remove blockers
  • Contributing to a collaborative, high-performing engineering culture

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.
