My client is a leading financial markets organisation undertaking a major cloud transformation programme and is looking for a Full Stack Python Engineer to join a business-critical team.

Working on a large-scale, business-critical application, you'll play a key role in modernising and simplifying a complex Python estate. The work will involve refactoring legacy code, breaking down monolithic applications into modular components, and supporting the migration of solutions from on-prem environments into AWS. This is a highly hands-on engineering role suited to someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems and working on enterprise-scale systems.

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.
