Why This Organisation
Not every engineering role gives you the chance to work on software that genuinely cannot fail. This one does.
This is an organisation that takes engineering quality seriously because it has to. The systems are mission critical, the scale is significant, and the problems you would be working on are genuinely complex. If you are a senior engineer who wants your work to mean something and your skills to be tested properly, this is the kind of environment that delivers that.
The Role and What It Can Do For Your Career
This is a hands on Senior Software Engineer position at the heart of a high performing payments engineering team. You will design, build and maintain robust, scalable.NET applications and services, contribute to architectural and technical design discussions and work on high throughput, where every line of code carries real weight.
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.

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.
What sets this role apart for your career is the combination of scale and craft. You will be working on a platform that processes millions of transactions daily, with 100% uptime as the baseline expectation. That forces a level of engineering rigour, around testing, code quality, performance and reliability, that most roles simply do not. The experience you build here translates directly into some of the most demanding engineering environments in the world.
You will also be part of a collaborative Agile team, contributing to code reviews, CI and CD pipelines and automated testing, with real input into how the engineering function continues to improve. This is not a role where you are handed tickets and left to get on with it.
