IntaPeople have 4 Java roles with a fintech scaleup in Cardiff due to internal promotions.

The team have some agentic workflows set up in Claude, so a background with agentic coding and GenAI would be ideal. Hands on experience with Java (Ideally 25) building APIs and microservices with Spring Boot is essential.

Role 1 - Engineering Team Lead 75-90k

This is a people leadership role where you will be managing 6-8 engineers. Your role will be focused on developing your team, setting goals, and helping them to achieve milestones. You will be working on greenfield projects and although this is not a hands-on coding role, you will need to be able to write code when required. You really enjoy getting the best out of your team, you understand that different people respond better to different strategies, and you pride yourself on your ability to help each individual develop their skills. You are an experienced engineer with a background in technical leadership, and you are able to hit the road running within an Engineering Team Lead position.

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.
