Who We Are
Join our team of passionate Zutonites and help transform the car finance experience with simplicity and integrity. Since our journey began in 2006, we’ve grown to a team of over 550 people — all driven by a shared purpose: to make buying a car transparent and hassle-free. We know how important cars are in people’s everyday lives — for work, family and freedom — and that’s why we’re proud to help hundreds of thousands of customers every year. From day one, we’ve been redefining what success looks like, creating something special at Zuto: a business that leaves a lasting, positive legacy. If you’re looking for an engineering environment where you can genuinely own problems, challenge existing approaches and help shape how we build technology, you’ll fit right in. We’re transforming our architecture and embracing AI-assisted development, giving our engineers the freedom and tools to move quickly, experiment and build better solutions.
The Role
As our Senior Information Security Analyst, you’ll play a key role in protecting Zuto’s technology, data and customers while helping us continue to mature our overall security posture. This is a blended technical security and governance role. One day you could be investigating an alert within our SIEM or responding to a security incident; the next, you could be assessing a supplier, supporting an ISO 27001 audit or discussing a control decision with senior stakeholders. You'll act as a senior point of reference for colleagues across the business, combining strong technical knowledge with a practical, risk-based approach to security. We’re looking for someone who can distinguish genuine risk from noise, make sound decisions and help us continuously improve rather than simply identify problems.
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.
