Senior Python Engineer / Quant Developer | Commodities | Outside IR35 | London (Hybrid)
I'm working with a global commodities trading firm that is investing heavily in its next-generation Pricing & Risk platform.
They're looking for a Senior Python Engineer to help build the technology that sits at the heart of their pricing and risk capability. This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll be developing high-performance systems for pricing, curve construction and VaR across Oil, Gas and Power markets.
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.
