We are working with an innovative engineering software startup that is poised for significant growth, aiming to revolutionise the CAE sector and free engineers from traditional design and creative limitations. This company is developing a cutting-edge platform, building on the founders' extensive experience in the field, and is looking for a visionary to shape its technical direction.

The Role

  • Architect and lead the development of a new Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) platform.
  • Establish robust architecture and scalable systems for complex engineering software.
  • Transition into growing and leading a team of talented software engineers.
  • Drive the adoption of modern technologies and best practices in software engineering.
  • Ensure the platform is scalable, extensible, and leverages distributed computing and cloud infrastructure.

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.
