About the Client
We're working with an established software company that develops innovative cloud-based platforms used by organisations across the UK. Due to continued growth, they're looking to add a PHP Developer to their engineering team, where you'll have the opportunity to contribute to modern, scalable products while working alongside an experienced and collaborative development team.

You'll work with PHP, Laravel and React to build scalable web applications, optimise MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, and develop secure RESTful APIs. You'll also contribute to code reviews, technical discussions and architectural decisions, with opportunities to gain hands-on experience with AWS and React Native as the platform continues to evolve.
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.
