Lead Product Engineer (Top Proprietary Trading Firm)

Hands-on Product Engineering Team Lead

We're working with a leading crypto-native technology company looking for an experienced Product Engineering Team Lead.

This isn't a traditional middle-management role. The ideal candidate will:

  • Lead a small team of engineers
  • Own technical direction for both customer-facing and internal products used globally by thousands of users
  • Collaborate closely with the CTO and Head of Product on architecture, engineering standards, and product strategy
  • Stay hands-on with modern technologies including TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python, and Go

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.
