I’m currently working with a London-based trading technology team that’s looking to bring in a Senior Engineer within their Data Platform team to help scale a real-time platform powering high-volume trading systems.
This isn’t a typical backend role. It sits at the intersection of high-performance backend engineering and data platform architecture, focused on building distributed systems that process and stream huge volumes of trading data in real time.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
⚡ When markets become volatile, trade and order volumes can surge instantly, so the platform needs to remain extremely fast, resilient, and fault-tolerant under significant load. The team is looking for engineers who enjoy working on complex systems where scalability, concurrency, and performance really matter, particularly within event-driven and streaming architectures.
It’s the kind of environment where you’re solving real engineering problems at scale, rather than just building standard application features.
💻 Tech Stack
Key technologies include:
- C# /.NET (currently.NET 8 /.NET 10)
- Kafka or similar event-streaming technologies (RabbitMQ, Kinesis, Azure Service Bus etc.)
- PostgreSQL and large relational data systems
- Real-time data pipelines and distributed systems
