The Opportunity
We are partnering with a leading financial services organisation to find talented JVM Engineers to join their growing engineering teams in London. This is an exciting opportunity to work on high-impact, enterprise-scale systems within a technology-driven financial services environment. You’ll be part of a collaborative engineering culture that values clean code, continuous improvement, and modern software development practices.
The Role
As a JVM Engineer, you’ll design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable applications using modern JVM technologies. You’ll work closely with other engineers, architects, and stakeholders to deliver high-quality software that supports critical business functions. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to technical decisions, improve engineering practices, and work on challenging problems across a large-scale technology estate.
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.
