A bit about us

At Gamma we provide voice, data, and mobile solutions to businesses across the UK, Germany, Spain, and the Benelux region.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. When you join us, you’ll be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team that’s transforming how businesses connect and communicate globally.

We’re growing fast, but we never lose sight of what matters: our people. Whether you're looking to develop your skills, take on new challenges, or make a meaningful impact, Gamma is the place to do it.

What is the role responsible for?

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining systems within the BSS/OSS space. This role exists to bring strong technical expertise into the team, ensuring software is robust, scalable, and secure, while contributing to the design and planning of key components within larger platform initiatives.

You’ll play a key role in shaping solutions, embedding non-functional requirements such as performance, maintainability, and security, while supporting the wider engineering team through best practice and technical guidance.

What will you be doing day-to-day?

Here are a few examples of what you could be involved with:

  • Leading key aspects of technical design, development, code review, and testing for delivered components
  • Supporting and coaching engineers within the team on technologies, standards, and best practices
  • Contributing to and enhancing CI/CD pipelines and engineering practices within the squad
  • Participating in Agile ceremonies and supporting project delivery and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Collaborating with Product, Operations, and other stakeholders to refine and improve requirements
  • Ensuring systems meet standards across cost control, security, configuration, and asset management
  • Creating clear technical documentation to support maintainability, operability, and business continuity
  • Driving quality through robust testing strategies and identifying opportunities to adopt new technologies

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.
