Job Description

Tax Admin are looking for a Lead Engineer to join the rapidly growing Modernisation Programme.

We're looking for an engineer, experienced in Java, Spring, Platforms Integration, Kubernetes and ideally React Front End development.

Suitable candidates will be adept at working through technical challenges, driving out solutions and leading others to understand and develop these. They will relish not having all the answers and instead being the person coming up with the answers.

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.

Adopting shared / common components built within the wider Mod. programme, driving ways of working in line with the engineering principles and assuring the work in the team.
