About the Opportunity
We are hiring five exceptional Senior Software Engineers / Tech Leads for one of the UK's fastest-growing technology scale-ups.
Following significant growth and investment, the business is embarking on a major platform evolution programme, transitioning from a mature PHP-based architecture towards a modern, scalable, cloud-native ecosystem built around Go, APIs, distributed services, and event-driven architecture.
This is a rare opportunity to help shape the future technical direction of a highly successful SaaS platform used by global organisations.
We're looking for engineers who enjoy solving complex problems, influencing architecture, mentoring teams, and remaining hands-on with technology.
The Opportunity
These roles sit at the heart of the engineering organisation.
You'll lead technical delivery while helping drive a strategic technology transformation, modernising existing systems and building the next generation of products and services.
This role combines:
π³ Hands-on software engineering
π³ Technical leadership
π³ Architectural ownership
π³ Mentoring and coaching
π³ Cloud-native platform development
π³ Full-stack product delivery
You'll work closely with Engineering, Product, Platform, and Architecture teams to build highly scalable solutions capable of supporting continued rapid growth.
What You'll Be Doing
π³ Leading and mentoring teams of talented software engineers
π³ Driving engineering best practices around Object-Oriented Design, SOLID principles, clean architecture, and maintainable code
π³ Designing and building scalable APIs and backend services
π³ Helping evolve a large PHP platform towards modern Go-based microservices
π³ Contributing across the full stack, from backend services through to customer-facing applications
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iβm in my final year doing Economics and I donβt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer β it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donβt need a masters. Letβs look at the ones youβd 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 β that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
