We are looking for an experienced Java Developer to join a high-performing technology team in Newcastle, working on secure, enterprise-scale solutions for a leading client.
Due to the nature of the work, successful candidates will need to undergo Security Clearance. This requires 5+ years of continuous UK residence, with no period of 6 months or more spent outside the UK during that time. This includes either a single 6-month absence or multiple trips totalling 6 months or more.
What You'll Do
- Develop modular, scalable services using Java (JDK 11+) and Spring Boot.
- Build and integrate enterprise applications using WebLogic Server and CAS SDK.
- Develop secure, cloud-based solutions using platforms such as AWS and containerisation.
- Contribute to microservices architecture and end-to-end system integration.
- Champion best practices including TDD, CI/CD, continuous testing and coding standards.
- Support automated functional and non-functional testing.
- Work within a Scrum/Agile environment, contributing to planning, refinement, reviews and retrospectives.
- Collaborate with technical leads, infrastructure teams and test automation engineers.
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.
