Kubernetes Software Engineer Opportunity - Quantitative Technology - London
Looking for an experienced Kubernetes Software Engineer with a strong background in Software Engineering and Platform Engineering.
You'll be working on the internal developer platform relied upon by hundreds of engineers, solving complex platform challenges rather than simply operating infrastructure.
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.
