Senior Software Engineer
Required by a growing SaaS software business, joining a fast-moving product and engineering team.
This is a fully remote role and should suit a Senior Software Engineer who enjoys backend development, modern technologies and taking genuine ownership of their work within a collaborative product engineering environment.
This is very much a backend-focused role, working predominantly with Node.js and TypeScript to design and develop scalable services and applications. While there may be some exposure to the wider technology stack, the core of the position is backend software engineering.
You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of features from initial design through to production. Rather than simply working through development tickets, they’re looking for an engineer who is comfortable taking responsibility for delivery, contributing ideas and helping improve backend systems and engineering practices.
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.
