Python Developer / Team Lead
Python Developer / Team Lead London / WFH to £120k
Are you a skilled Python Developer with team leadership experience?
You could be progressing your career at a well-funded and profitable FinTech start-up.
As a Python Developer / Team Lead you'll head up a small, talented tech team to deliver new features and enhancements as well as some refactoring work, contributing to the core banking platform which integrates with major players such as HSBC. There's a relatively young codebase and lots of new projects to get stuck into.
You'll be collaboratively problem solving in a hands-on role with approximately 50/50 split between architecture / design and people management. You'll set the standards and mentor more junior developers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and self development.
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.
