Senior Software Architect / Technical Lead (C++)

Hybrid | East Midlands
Competitive Salary + Travel Allowance and great benefits

Are you a Software Architect, Technical Lead, Principal Engineer, or Lead Developer looking for a role that combines architecture, technical leadership, and hands-on engineering?

We're working with an established technology business seeking a Senior Software Architect to lead the design and delivery of complex software solutions while mentoring and developing a team of engineers. You'll play a key role in solution architecture, project delivery, stakeholder engagement, and technical decision-making across the full software lifecycle.

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.
