Senior Java Developer

Location: North East/ Scotland (1 day per month on-site)
Salary: Circa £75,000
Employment: Permanent

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a strong Java Developer to join a highly technical engineering environment in the North East or Scotland.
This is an opportunity for someone who genuinely knows Java inside out and enjoys solving complex engineering problems. You’ll be joining a team where technical quality matters, working on robust, high-performance systems while having the flexibility to work predominantly remotely.
You’ll only be expected on-site around one day per month.

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.
