POLITE NOTE: Applicants must have full UK working rights. Unfortunately, visa sponsorship or work permits are not available for this position.
We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer to join a growing engineering team. This is the second hire for the team following a recent successful appointment, reflecting continued investment and growth.
This is a hands-on senior engineering role with a strong emphasis on back-end development (approximately 80%), while still contributing to the front end (20%). You'll be designing, building and deploying scalable cloud-based applications and APIs within a collaborative, fast-paced environment.
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.
