Shape a Global Platform. Not Just Another Product.
Most engineering roles involve maintaining existing systems. This isn't one of them. We're partnering with a global technology organisation entering a major growth phase, investing heavily in next-generation engineering, artificial intelligence, and enterprise-scale platform development. As part of this transformation, they're building a brand-new AI-powered platform designed to operate globally, automate complex business processes, and deliver intelligent decision-making at scale.
This is a rare opportunity to join at the beginning and help define the platform, architecture, and technology strategy that will power the business for years to come.

The Opportunity
As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be a hands-on technical leader responsible for designing, building, and evolving key business-critical systems.
You'll have the freedom to influence technical decisions, introduce new ideas, and contribute directly to the company's long-term technology vision.
Key Responsibilities

Reasons to use Rodeo
Iβm in my final year doing Economics and I donβt 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) donβt need a masters. Letβs look at the ones youβd 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.
