Senior Developer – Front Office RAD / Trader Tools

£700 p/day | Outside IR35 | Largely remote | 12-month contract

We are hiring a hands-on Senior Developer for a prestigious investment banking client, delivering tactical fixes and enhancements directly for front-office traders.

This role suits someone who thrives in a RAD/tactical environment: quick to understand a problem, comfortable with changing priorities, and able to deliver practical, reliable solutions at pace.

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.

  • Proven experience in front-office RAD or tactical development
  • A quick-thinking, pragmatic problem solver who can work independently
  • Confidence working directly with traders to understand issues and deliver solutions
  • Experience troubleshooting, supporting, and enhancing existing applications
  • Ability to balance speed of delivery with testing and maintainable code
