Job Overview

This is an exciting opening to be the technical lead across multiple new software teams. We are delivering the full Linux stack (firmware, kernel, drivers, applications) to support a new range of Arm hardware devices aimed at AI use cases. You will work with architects and other technical leaders across the business to define work for each of the teams and ensure it is broken-down, prioritised and captured in backlogs. You will be adept at balancing across multiple domains such as schedule, functionality, performance, quality and security.

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.
