Senior Java Developer (x2) – 12-Month Contract

Location: Liverpool Street, London (2 days per week onsite)

Duration: 12 Months

Rate: Up to £750 per day (Inside IR35)

We're looking for 2 x Senior Java Developers to join a high-performing engineering team on an initial 12-month contract. This is an excellent opportunity to work on the development of modern, cloud-native applications within a collaborative Agile environment. You'll play a key role in designing, building and delivering scalable, resilient software using modern Java technologies and AWS, while championing engineering best practices such as Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD).

Key Responsibilities

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.
