You get to own the architecture, not just build it.

This is a financial data and analytics business that sits at the serious end of risk and market intelligence. They provide the kind of data that Investment institutions actually rely on to make decisions. The team is lean, which means what you build matters and people notice.

You are taking on a Senior Database Developer role where you have genuine autonomy over how things are designed and built. There is no committee of fifteen people approving every decision. You shape the architecture, you drive the development, and you see your work in production.

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.

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.

Day to day you are working across complex data pipelines and database solutions that support financial risk and analytics products. You are not just writing queries and handing them off. You are involved in the full picture, from design through to delivery.

On top of that, the business is investing in modern tooling. You will be getting hands-on with platforms like Databricks and Snowflake, so if your background has been more traditional SQL environments, this is a genuine opportunity to grow your skillset without having to jump ship for a new company just to do it.

Speaking of which, the role comes with flexible hybrid working built in. No rigid five-days-in policy, no performative office presence. You work in a way that suits you.
