Job summary
We have an exciting opportunity for a Software Engineer to join our expanding agile development team.
We work in a wide range of technologies including.Net, JavaScript, and Python, deploying our solutions using Azure DevOps to internal infrastructure.
Everything we do is team-based. We take Agile seriously; your delivery team will be small but will have the people it needs to get things done - developers, testers, product owner, and a delivery manager - as well as access to infrastructure specialists, UX experts, and business analysts.
Quality is paramount. You and your team will be supported to do excellent work. Everyone reviews code and everyone welcomes feedback.
We offer a great work/life balance. People’s start and end times are built around their own preferences and around a 10am – 2pm team time, where the team is focused solely on building (no meetings!). The role is office-based for a minimum 4 days a week due to the nature of the work, with the option of 1 day a week working from home.
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.
