About the Role

At CFC, this role sits right at the intersection of technology, data, and real business impact. You’ll lead a talented engineering team and play a pivotal role in shaping how we design, build, and scale our platforms — from early concept through to production.

As a Technical Lead at CFC you will be responsible for guiding and mentoring a team towards the successful development of high-quality technical solutions that align with our business goals. Providing technical leadership, designing and implementing complex solutions, and ensuring the team adheres to best practices. Join us in shaping the technical direction of our projects and fostering a culture of excellence.

About the Role

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll set the standard for quality, guide engineers through complex challenges, and foster a collaborative, high-performing team culture. You’ll actively tackle technical debt, manage risk, and drive continuous improvement across tooling, automation, and CI/CD — all while ensuring we ship software we’re proud of.

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.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

If you’re excited by solving complex problems, mentoring engineers, and building systems that operate at scale in a fast-moving, innovative environment, this is a role where your impact will be visible from day one.

About You

You’re an experienced technical leader who enjoys rolling up your sleeves as much as setting direction. You’re comfortable explaining complex ideas to both technical and non-technical audiences, and you instinctively balance pragmatism with long-term thinking.

You bring strong, hands-on experience as a Python-focused engineer or technical lead, with a genuine love for working close to the data. You’re confident writing and optimising SQL (Postgres, SQL Server, Databricks), comfortable operating without an ORM, and familiar with the realities of handling data at scale.

You care deeply about engineering craft — from clean, well-reviewed code to robust testing and automation. You’re at home in the command line, using tools like git, bash/zsh (and maybe vim), and you enjoy improving developer experience as much as delivering features.

You’re curious, analytical, and evidence-driven, with the ability — and confidence — to interrogate data, draw insights, and share outcomes with clarity. Whether your background is Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Applied Statistics (or a closely related field), what matters most is your depth of understanding and passion for building great software.
