The opportunity
We're looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join a growing consultancy delivering complex, mission-critical software across Central Government.
You'll be joining an Agile engineering team building bespoke software solutions from the ground up, working on projects that have a genuine real-world impact. This is a hands-on role where you'll have the opportunity to work across the full software lifecycle – from requirements and design through to development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The environment is predominantly Java and React, alongside TypeScript/JavaScript, with applications deployed across AWS, Azure, and private cloud environments.
You'll also have the opportunity to influence technical decisions, mentor other engineers, and work directly with clients, making this a strong next step for an experienced developer looking for more ownership without moving away from hands-on engineering.
What we're looking for
- Strong commercial Java experience
- Full-stack development experience ideally with TypeScript, JavaScript, and React
- Experience working with AWS and/or Azure
- CI/CD experience with tools such as GitLab
- Good understanding of software design, development, and testing
- Comfortable working across the full software development lifecycle
- Experience mentoring engineers or taking ownership of technical work is beneficial
- Consultancy experience beneficial but not essential

Benefits

- Flexible working hours and remote-first working
- 5 days' external training plus dedicated L&D budget
- Dedicated Career Coach and technical guilds
- Matched pension and healthcare
- Regular socials and company events
- Clear opportunities to progress into Technical Lead and wider leadership roles
A great opportunity for a Senior Engineer looking for interesting technical challenges, modern full-stack development, and more ownership over the software they build.
