Senior Java Developer | Travel-tech Senior Java Developer | £300-400/day | Outside IR35 | Fully Remote within Europe

A fast-growing travel-tech organisation is embarking on a major product evolution and is looking for an experienced Senior Java Developer to join their team. This is a key engineering role working on high-traffic, consumer-facing systems used across Europe.

What You’ll Work On

  • Lead the evolution of a large-scale Java, Springboot, and MySQL, ensuring it can support a new universal architecture across multiple products.
  • Design and implement new backend features, Unit Testing, API testing, and system improvements to support both web and mobile clients.
  • Contribute to shared architecture, functional models, and backend design patterns to unify services across the organisation.

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.
