About the Role

Reporting to the Engineering Project Manager, candidates will be responsible for the design, verification, and implementation of a set of test suites across the software sub-systems within our client's flagship network monitoring products.

  • Ensuring product quality by designing and executing tests, and identifying and reporting defects.

  • Participating in the daily stand-up meeting.

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.
