Referment is working with a quantitative investment firm seeking a developer to build the software and research frameworks behind its trading activity. This role sits where strong software engineering meets quantitative problem-solving, and the exact project mix will depend on the team and scope.
You could work on low-latency market-data delivery, integrated research and execution tooling, cloud-based simulation environments or a robust research framework for a new asset class. The technology stack combines Python and C++ and runs across both on-premises and cloud environments.
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.
