Exciting deep-tech start-up seeks a bright, forward thinking Platform Engineer to join their dedicated team

With strong software engineering skills in modern languages (ideally Python) backed a good academic history, you’ll bring curiosity about scientific computing and care for code quality.

Applications are welcomed from mid level up to Senior level Engineers with knowledge of Cloud computing or HPC job management (such as Slurm), identity and authorization flows (such as OAuth2/OIDC) being highly beneficial.

This cutting edge technology company, focused on optimizing complex engineering systems, seeks a top class Platform Engineer who will confidently work collaboratively with engineers and scientists to have a real say in how the platform layer is designed.

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.
