Requirement
We are looking for engineers who combine deep technical craft with genuine capital markets domain knowledge. The two are equally important: candidates who have one without the other are unlikely to be effective in this environment.
Test-driven Development is non-negotiable. Engineers must be practitioners of TDD, not just advocates, and are expected to own the quality of their deliverables end-to-end rather than outsourcing it to a separate QA group. We expect candidates to demonstrate this through their approach to design, not just their ability to write tests after the fact. This will be assessed at interview.
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.
