About Us
We're a rapidly growing wealth management firm on an ambitious journey to 5x growth over the next 6 years. Our small but mighty data team of 4 has built a cutting-edge platform using open-source technology on AWS, delivering everything from real-time dashboards to innovative web applications. We believe in shipping fast, learning quickly, and building tools that advisers and clients actually love to use.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a Software Engineer to join as our 5th team member and own the delivery of critical web applications. This is a hands-on role where you'll build tools that directly impact adviser productivity, operational efficiency, and client experience. You'll work on everything from trading platforms to client presentation tools, with full ownership from concept to production.
This isn't about maintaining legacy systems – you'll be building greenfield applications that enable our growth strategy.
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.
