The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced C++/Python Quantitative Developer to join a high-impact quantitative analytics team focused on Cross Asset XVA and Capital Analytics.

  • Develop pricing and valuation models using numerical methods, including Monte Carlo simulations and PDE solvers.
  • Build high-quality software using C++ and Python, alongside technologies such as C#/.NET, Java, SQL and kdb.
  • Apply object-oriented design principles and strong software engineering practices to quantitative applications.
  • Work with market data and develop analytical solutions for complex financial instruments.
  • Collaborate closely with Traders, Structurers, Quantitative Analysts and Technology teams.
  • Partner with control functions including Market Risk, Credit Risk, Finance, Legal, Compliance and Audit.

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.
