About the Role
We are looking for a senior engineer who can take end-to-end ownership of complex, distributed systems - from a clean, accessible UI all the way down to the database and the pipelines that ship it. You will design, build, and operate cloud-native microservices in Java 17/21 with Spring Boot expose well-versioned APIs consumed by modern TypeScript front ends, and drive engineering practices such as TDD/BDD, API-driven development across the team.
This role is hands-on. You will write production code daily, review pull requests, mentor mid-level engineers, and influence architectural decisions that affect multiple squads. We expect you to care equally about correctness, performance, developer experience, and the people on your team.
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.
