🚀 High-growth consumer platform scaling rapidly
We’re partnered with a high-growth consumer tech platform looking to hire a Senior Backend Engineer into a fast-moving product engineering team.
The business has already scaled to hundreds of thousands of users and is continuing to grow quickly, with engineering at the centre of that growth. They’re building modern, real-time user experiences with a strong emphasis on speed, product quality, and continuous improvement.
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.

Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This role sits within a backend-focused team responsible for powering core customer experiences across web and mobile platforms. You’ll be building APIs, backend services, and scalable systems within an environment that ships to production daily.
The stack is primarily Python on AWS, using technologies including Flask, PostgreSQL, Docker, Terraform, and cloud-native infrastructure. Strong backend engineering fundamentals are more important than exact stack match.
What they’re looking for:
- Strong backend engineering experience with Python
- Experience building and maintaining APIs
- Good understanding of scalable systems and backend architecture
- Cloud experience (AWS ideally)
- Product-minded engineers who enjoy ownership and moving quickly
- Comfortable operating in fast-paced environments
