Senior Software Engineer (.NET / AWS)
Location: Manchester / Hybrid

The Role
We are looking to hire experienced Senior Software Engineers to join a growing engineering function. You’ll play a key role in designing and building scalable, cloud-native applications that support a rapidly evolving digital product suite.
Working closely with the wider engineering team, product managers, and stakeholders, you’ll contribute across the full development lifecycle – from architecture and design through to deployment and optimisation.
This is a great opportunity to join a forward-thinking, collaborative team with a strong engineering culture and modern tech stack.
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.
