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.

What You'll Help Build

  • A greenfield global platform from the ground up
  • AI-powered and agentic systems that automate critical workflows
  • Highly scalable microservices and distributed architectures
  • Cloud-native applications designed for performance and resilience
  • Solutions that deliver real-world impact across international operations

If you're excited by solving complex challenges and creating technology that genuinely moves the needle, you'll thrive here.

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

  • Design and deliver greenfield applications and platform capabilities
  • Build AI-enabled services and intelligent automation solutions
  • Develop high-performance, scalable web applications
  • Take ownership across the full software development lifecycle
  • Drive improvements in architecture, performance, resilience and scalability
  • Work within distributed, high-volume environments
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering and Service teams
  • Coach and mentor fellow engineers, helping raise technical standards
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and technology strategy
  • Translate business requirements into robust technical solutions
  • Champion engineering best practices, code quality and continuous improvement

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.
