Senior Rust Software Engineer | London

Provn are partnered with a global financial-markets firm serving institutional clients looking to hire a Senior Rust Software Engineer to join their Core Trading Engineering team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build and optimise high-performance Rust applications
  • Develop low-latency trading infrastructure and backend services
  • Build scalable distributed systems running in Linux environments
  • Work closely with quantitative developers and trading teams to deliver business-critical software
  • Drive performance optimisation, reliability and engineering best practices

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.
