to £80k
Are you a senior backend Python Developer looking to work on technology at the forefront of AI and cyber security?
You could be progressing your career at one of the world's leading cyber security technology companies, where you'll help develop next generation software that protects organisations from increasingly sophisticated AI driven cyber threats.
As a Senior Python Developer within the R&D team, you'll play a key role in the development of a Greenfield platform designed to defend against emerging AI powered attacks. Working in a highly collaborative engineering environment, you'll take ideas from rapid prototypes through to robust, production ready systems, helping to shape both the product and the underlying technology.
You'll primarily develop high-performance backend services in Python, while also having the opportunity to work with Rust and other modern technologies, choosing the right tools to solve complex engineering challenges. The role offers plenty of scope for technical ownership, innovation and continuous learning within a fast paced R&D environment.
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.
