We're partnering with a global technology organisation embarking on a major platform transformation that will redefine how its products are built and delivered. With a strong architectural vision already in place, the business is now looking for a Lead Software Architect to take ownership of the technical execution and help turn that vision into reality.

The Role

  • Lead the implementation of software architecture across a major greenfield platform programme.
  • Mentor and provide technical leadership to other Software Architects.
  • Drive engineering best practices and architectural standards across development teams.
  • Work closely with Solution, Platform, and Hardware Architects to deliver an integrated platform, including IoT connectivity.
  • Design scalable, cloud-native applications using modern architectural patterns.
  • Guide technical decisions around distributed systems, scalability, and performance.

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.
