Senior Software Engineer – Robotics

Location: Royston – On-site

Salary: Up to £60,000 + Share Options

The Opportunity

We’re working with an innovative and fast-growing technology business developing advanced robotic systems for real-world applications.

As the business continues to scale, they are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer – Robotics to help take the capability, usability and performance of their robotic systems to the next level.

This is a hands-on opportunity where you’ll be writing software, investigating complex problems and testing your work directly on physical machines. You’ll work closely with product and platform teams, using data, experimentation and user feedback to identify issues and deliver meaningful improvements.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and improve robotic systems across usability, speed, accuracy and calibration.
  • Investigate logs, user feedback, observations and experimental data to identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Diagnose the root cause of software and system issues before implementing fixes.
  • Develop, test and deploy software directly onto physical robotic machines.
  • Work closely with Product and Platform teams to prioritise and deliver improvements.
  • Collaborate with the wider engineering team to ensure software changes are robust, well-tested and suitable for production.
  • Contribute to the development of new functionality and capabilities as the technology evolves.

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.
