I’m working with a leading systematic hedge fund in New York that is seeking an elite C# Developer to join its Risk Development team in London.
This is a front-footed technical role in one of the most business-critical engineering groups in the firm – focused on designing and scaling cutting-edge risk systems that power real-time and historical analytics for PMs, risk officers, and senior leadership.
As part of this team, you’ll be building foundational components to support stress testing, equity factor models, VaR, risk decomposition, and analytics tooling. You’ll also contribute to scaling the firm’s large-scale data systems and driving modernization efforts across risk technology.
You'll work in a highly technical environment using Python and have the opportunity to contribute to high-performance architecture, cloud-based data platforms (AWS, Snowflake, Redshift), and streaming technologies (Kafka).
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.
