Role: Quantitative RAD Developer (C++)

Sector: Elite Buyside Trading Firm
Salary: Up to £140k First Year Comp
I am looking for a Senior Rapid Application Developer (RAD) to join a high-performing technology team within an elite buy-side fund.
You’ll work closely with traders and QRs to rapidly design and deliver high-quality applications and tools, primarily using C++. The role combines strong software engineering with a focus on speed of delivery, usability, and solving complex business problems.
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.
