THE ROLE
An established engineering business is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join its Engineering Software Team on a permanent basis. You'll take ownership of software designs from initial specification all the way through to verified, production-ready code — bringing expert knowledge of software design, test and verification to new and existing products alike. It's a genuinely hands-on senior role with scope to shape innovative products and mentor the engineers around you.

Based in North London, they have a strong reputation for innovation and set the international standard in their field. This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly technical engineering team working on cutting-edge, market-leading products.
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.
