Python Developer | Energy Trading - Clean Energy Platform | £800/Day Inside IR35 | 6 Month Contract | London 2-3 Days per week
Senior Python Engineer is needed for an Clean Energy Tech firm, who are enabling a smarter, more flexible, and zero-carbon electricity grid.
With the energy system rapidly evolving and the demand for flexible, reliable, and zero-carbon electricity increasing, the focus of this role is on building the technology that enables smarter energy trading and power management. Working within a cross-functional, agile team, you’ll help develop our software platform, building scalable and reliable backend services that support automated energy trading, high-frequency telemetry from battery assets, and real-time control and dispatch across UK and international markets.
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.

As a Backend Engineer, you will design, build, and maintain cloud-native services using Python and modern backend technologies, working with frameworks such as FastAPI or Django, alongside PostgreSQL and other distributed databases, event-driven technologies such as Kafka or Pulsar, and cloud infrastructure across AWS. You’ll work on high-volume data processing, APIs, microservices, and distributed systems, with a strong focus on scalability, reliability, and performance. You’ll also contribute to technical direction, engineering best practices, and mentoring within the team, while taking end-to-end ownership of the systems you build, including participating in an on-call rotation. The role requires a pragmatic and adaptable approach, balancing long-term technical strategy with the changing needs of a fast-moving energy industry.
