About Intercepta

Intercepta builds real-time security infrastructure that operates inside transaction flows — detecting risk, simulating intent, and preventing attacks before execution.

Role Overview

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will design and scale systems that process on-chain data, generate risk signals, and power mission-critical protection for wallets, exchanges, and fintech platforms.

Your Impact

  • Design and build low-latency backend systems for real-time threat detection
  • Develop services that analyze and simulate transaction behavior before execution
  • Work with high-volume blockchain data and streaming pipelines
  • Build and optimize data processing systems for reliability, throughput, and speed
  • Collaborate with data and security teams to productionize detection logic
  • Contribute to system architecture, scalability, and infrastructure decisions
  • Own systems end-to-end — from design to deployment and monitoring

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.
