An established UK tech consultancy is expanding its engineering function and is looking for several Senior Software Engineers to join during an exciting period of growth.
The company delivers cloud-native solutions using modern technologies and supports remote-first working across Scotland.
About the Role
Having operated successfully for several years, they’re now investing in growing out their Scottish engineering presence, making this a great time to join and help shape a growing function.
Engineering excellence sits at the core of the company. They work with modern technologies and are looking for engineers who value strong software engineering fundamentals, maintain high coding standards, and enjoy keeping up with evolving technology.
The tech stack varies depending on the project, but they work extensively with .NET, TypeScript, Python, and Kotlin. As projects are delivered end-to-end, teams work with a DevOps mindset - “You build it, you own it” - meaning engineers are actively involved with cloud platforms, deployment, and infrastructure throughout the delivery lifecycle.
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.
