Senior Java Solution Designer – London | Inside IR35
We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Java Solution Designer with a strong Core Java engineering background and Financial Services experience to support a large-scale legacy transformation into modern event-driven and service-oriented architecture. This is not a purely architectural role - you’ll remain close to the code, contributing to design, development, technical decisions, and performance optimisation while working with architecture and engineering teams.
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.
