My client, a leading multi-strategy hedge fund, is seeking a senior Application Support Engineer to join their growing technology function in London.
The successful candidate will be a founding member of a newly formed application support team, working alongside one other to build the function from the ground up. This is a broad, hands-on role supporting front office and operations applications - largely internally developed, with some third-party systems - while helping to establish the best practices, logging standards, incident management processes and SLAs that will underpin the team long term.
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.

The ideal candidate will have 5+ years' experience supporting applications in a trading environment, with genuine front office exposure and a strong working knowledge of the trade lifecycle and the products being supported. Candidates must be able to speak confidently to how a trade works, investigate PnL, risk and STP/booking issues, and hold their own in conversations with traders and developers alike.
Candidates should have solid SQL skills, the ability to read code and suggest small changes, and a proven track record working to defined SLAs, response times and escalation policies. Experience across L2 and L3 support, monitoring, alerting and automation is essential, as is a genuine interest in improving supportability rather than simply clearing tickets.
