KDB+ Engineer - Hybrid

We’re working with a fast-growing technology business that is looking for an experienced KDB+ Engineer to join its team in London.

This is an opportunity for a hands-on engineer who enjoys working with high-performance, time-series data and wants to solve complex technical problems in a collaborative, client-focused environment.

You’ll work across the full development lifecycle, designing and developing solutions using kdb+ and q, while working closely with both technical teams and clients to understand requirements and deliver robust solutions.

What you’ll be doing

  • Developing and optimising kdb+ / q solutions for high-volume, time-series data.
  • Designing and implementing scalable, high-performance data solutions.
  • Working across the full software development lifecycle, from requirements through to deployment and support.
  • Collaborating with engineers, stakeholders, and clients to understand problems and develop effective solutions.
  • Troubleshooting complex technical issues and continuously improving system performance.
  • Contributing to best practices around development, testing, and delivery.
  • Taking ownership of projects and working independently while contributing to a wider engineering team.

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.
