IT Engineer - Live Trading Floor | London
We're working with a leading global options market maker - a highly entrepreneurial, collaborative trading firm with global offices across to hire an IT Operations Analyst to join their Infrastructure team.
This isn't a standard helpdesk role. You'll be the face of technology on a live trading floor, working alongside dedicated Windows, Unix, and Networks teams, with a clear mandate to automate yourself out of repetitive work using scripting and AI tooling.
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.
