Lead Security Engineer Opportunity
Growing company seeks a Lead Security Engineer to join a small, high-trust security function to take ownership of meaningful security engineering projects from end to end.
This is a broad generalist security engineering role in a Microsoft environment. You’ll work across identity and access, Zero Trust, cloud security, vulnerability management, SIEM/detection and application security, with an early focus on improving SSO and access management, strengthening joiner/mover/leaver processes, reducing reliance on traditional VPN access and improving visibility across the application estate.
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.
