Overview We are developing a scalable Data Fabric platform that ingests, transforms, and serves trusted data products across multiple domains. The platform spans on‑premise and cloud environments and underpins a wide range of analytics and operational workloads. This role plays a critical part in shaping, building, and scaling the platform as new use cases onboard.
Role Summary As a Senior Software Engineer, you will lead technical delivery while remaining deeply hands‑on. You will design and build platform components, own complex engineering outcomes, and set high standards for quality, reliability, and operability. You will work closely with architects and engineering peers, mentor team members, and contribute to both technical and delivery decisions.
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.
