Security Operations Engineer // Manchester hybrid // Up to £40,000 🔐
Are you ready to stop just responding to security alerts and start changing what happens next?

You’ll be working across:
- Incident response and threat investigation

- Vulnerability management
- SAST, DAST, SCA and SBOM
- Python or PowerShell automation
- Cloud security
- Security tooling and integrations
- AI-enabled security tooling
- Embedding security directly into the software development lifecycle
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.

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The exciting bit?
You won’t just be handed alerts and asked to follow a runbook.
If you investigate an incident and think, “we could detect this better” or “we could automate this”, you’ll be encouraged to take that idea and implement it.
You’ll work closely with Software Engineers, have genuine ownership over security improvements, and get exposure well beyond traditional SOC work.
