Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We Are Looking For
- Strong commercial software engineering experience
- Good proficiency in both Java and Python
- Expert-level knowledge is not required across both languages, but one should be your main language
- Experience building low-latency, real-time, or event-driven systems
- Experience working with high volumes of live data
- Practical experience using AI tools such as Claude, Copilot, Cursor, or similar
- Strong knowledge of software design, testing, and production support
- The ability to work independently and take ownership of technical delivery
Get help with your application

The position is predominantly based in the company’s central London office.
