Role Summary
An exciting opportunity to kick-start your career as a junior software engineer in a fast-growing, office-based, hands-on team. This role is ideal if you enjoy being a broad generalist - someone who likes connecting systems, figuring out how different technologies work together, and building practical solutions that make things happen.
You’ll be working across a range of projects and products, helping to integrate services, move data between systems, and turn complex processes into reliable, working software. We don’t expect you to know everything upfront - what matters most is your curiosity, your willingness to learn by doing, and your interest in understanding how real-world systems fit together.
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.
