About Us Iridium is an established software company founded in 2002, delivering bespoke software systems for long-term enterprise clients in the UK. We design, build, host, and support custom web, mobile, and desktop platforms that underpin clients’ day-to-day operations, rather than one-off or short-term projects. Our work is centred on sustained client relationships and ongoing platforms, which allows teams to take real ownership of systems over time and develop a deep understanding of the domains they operate in. Delivery typically spans the full lifecycle, from design and implementation through to long-term support and evolution. Based in Exeter, we operate as a small, experienced team with a flat and pragmatic structure. This provides direct access to decision-makers, clear accountability, and the ability to influence both delivery and process. Our focus is on producing high-quality, maintainable solutions and delivering them reliably, on time, and on budget.

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.
