About Lumin Wealth
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in St Albans, Lumin Wealth is a Chartered firm providing financial planning and investment management to more than 4,000 families, with £1.6 billion in client assets under management. After more than a decade of uninterrupted growth, we now have over 120 people across offices in London and the South East. We're part of VZ Group, Switzerland's leading independent financial services provider. We're now on an ambitious journey to 5x growth over the next six years, and technology is central to how we get there.
The opportunity
Our small but mighty data team has built a modern platform on AWS, delivering everything from real-time dashboards to internal web applications. You'll pair with experienced engineers, learn a modern TypeScript stack properly and steadily take on more ownership as your confidence grows. You won't be maintaining legacy systems or fixing tickets in isolation. You'll contribute to greenfield applications that support our growth strategy, with support close at hand whenever you need it.
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.
