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're looking for
- Strong experience testing energy, commodities, capital-markets or financial-trading systems
- A good understanding of trading processes and the full trade lifecycle
- Strong SQL skills, including data validation and defect investigation
- Hands-on experience with BDD automation using SpecFlow, Reqnroll or a comparable framework
- Strong API and integration-testing experience
- Experience designing automation for complex, business-critical systems
- Familiarity with Git and CI/CD pipelines, ideally Azure Pipelines
- Strong communication, collaboration and problem-solving skills

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience with platforms such as Openlink Endur, Findur or another ETRM/CTRM system would be valuable, although direct platform experience is not essential where there is strong trading-domain knowledge.
This is not primarily a software-development position. Advanced programming ability is less important than trading knowledge, SQL, BDD automation and the ability to test complex APIs, integrations and data flows effectively.
