πŸš€ Build the Future, Not the Past

This isn't another role maintaining legacy applications or working through endless backlogs.

HireQ Talent is partnering with a international technology organisation investing heavily in the next phase of its growth. With a strong international presence already established, the business is now embarking on a major transformation programme focused on AI, automation, and large-scale platform engineering.

At the heart of this journey is the development of:

🌍 A brand-new global platform serving users at scale

πŸ€– AI-powered systems and intelligent workflow automation

⚑ High-performance services built for resilience and growth

πŸ— Modern cloud-native architecture designed from the ground up

If you're looking for an opportunity to influence technical direction, shape architecture, and build greenfield solutions from day one, this is it.


🎯 The Opportunity

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in creating and evolving the technology that powers the business's future.

You'll be trusted to:

  • Design and develop scalable software solutions from concept through to production
  • Build intelligent systems leveraging AI and automation technologies
  • Deliver modern, high-performance web applications
  • Take ownership across the full software development lifecycle
  • Solve complex challenges within distributed, high-volume environments
  • Drive system performance, reliability, and scalability improvements
  • Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Operational teams
  • Mentor developers and champion engineering best practices
  • Influence architecture decisions and technology strategy
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across tooling, processes, and delivery

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 β€” 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 β€” that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
