Junior C# Developer Opportunity
A fantastic opportunity for an ambitious Junior C# Developer to accelerate their career within a highly technical trading environment.
We are looking for a Junior C# .NET Developer to join a growing technology team responsible for building and supporting high-performance, real-time software used within trading.
This is an ideal opportunity for a graduate or early-career developer who has already gained some commercial C# experience and now wants to take a significant step forward technically.
You'll work alongside experienced software engineers, gaining hands-on exposure to trading systems, real-time applications, high-performance software and complex technical challenges that you wouldn't typically encounter in a standard junior development role.
You'll be encouraged to learn, ask questions and gradually take on more responsibility as your technical skills develop.
What You'll Be Doing
- Develop and enhance applications using C# and modern.NET
- Work on real-time, performance-critical trading technology
- Learn directly from experienced senior software engineers
- Build new features and improve existing systems
- Write clean, maintainable and well-tested code
- Work with SQL and relational databases
- Investigate technical issues and learn how to troubleshoot production systems
- Participate in code reviews, testing and debugging
- Gain exposure to performance optimisation, scalability and system reliability
- Work across the full software development lifecycle
- Develop your understanding of professional software engineering best practices
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.
