Great opportunity for a Principal Software Engineer to work for a retail company near Manchester going through a digital transformation.

This role is onsite 3-4 days per week so we’re looking for people who enjoy in-person collaboration in a fast-paced and challenging work environment.

You’d report to the Head of Engineering and would work alongside other Principal Software Engineers responsible for collaborating with Architects and Product Owners to lead the re-platforming of existing systems to an event-driven MACH architecture.

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.
