Senior Software Development Engineer

Job Summary

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Software Engineer to join our dynamic team at CWAN. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, building, deploying, and maintaining high-quality code while collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance our software offerings. This position is ideal for an engineer who is driven by client satisfaction and has a strong commitment to continuous learning and improvement. We use AI agents to speed up development safely and at the same time help clients achieve the same. A strong mathematical foundation is essential, as the role involves designing and optimising complex algorithms, numerical computations, and performance-critical financial systems. This is a software developer role that involves efficiently implementing mathematical calculations while at the same time integrating with the wider system.

We welcome applicants across a range of experience levels, from mid-level engineers building their expertise to seasoned seniors with deep domain knowledge. The scope of responsibilities and degree of autonomy will be tailored accordingly, offering room to grow for those earlier in their career and opportunities to lead and influence for those with more experience.

Responsibilities

  • Responsibilities will be scoped to match your level of experience. More experienced engineers will be expected to take on broader ownership, mentorship, and technical leadership.
  • Design, build, deploy, and maintain quality code that is simple, well-structured, clear, and well-tested.
  • Use AI agents to speed up development and advise others how to use them safely, both clients and internally.
  • Break down and solve complex problems efficiently, utilising research and collaboration as needed.
  • Implement and maintain multiple levels of automated testing (e.g., unit, integration, contract, end-to-end).
  • Mentor new and less-experienced team members, sharing knowledge and best practices. (More senior candidates)
  • Communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels, including translating technical and mathematical concepts for non-technical audiences.
  • Coordinate with cross-functional teams to ensure successful integration of software applications.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents promptly and effectively.
  • Design and implement mathematical models and algorithms for financial calculations, including pricing, risk metrics, and portfolio analytics.
  • Perform numerical analysis and optimisation of computationally intensive routines, ensuring accuracy, correctness, and performance at scale while integrating seamlessly with the broader platform infrastructure.
  • Design and maintain integration layers between mathematical computation engines and broader system services, ensuring reliability, observability, and maintainability.

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.
