A leading Financial Services organisation is looking to appoint a Senior Microservices Engineer (Java/Spring Boot) to join an established Agile engineering team, designing, developing, and supporting scalable microservices.
You'll work closely with engineering and architecture teams across the development lifecycle, contributing to technical design, code reviews, and engineering best practice.
The role is mainly remote, with one day per week in the Leicester office. It is offering a base salary of circa £65,000, plus an excellent benefits package.
As a Senior Microservices Engineer, you'll develop Java-based microservices using Spring Boot, while helping to identify and resolve technical issues and ensuring the delivery of scalable, reliable, and maintainable software. You'll also mentor junior engineers and contribute to continuous improvement.
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.
