Software Engineer - Up to £160,000 - London

Company

A recently funded AI start up, spun out from an elite academic institution, is looking to grow their software engineering team, specifically with a mission-critical hire to help scale their systems holistically while leading new development.

They are combining incredibly niche domain expertise with AI to conduct research and development in the physical world.

Role

  • This is a heavily backend-biased position but given the size of the team, you will be working across the stack when needed
  • Build scalable, performant systems
  • Design and deliver end-to-end features with direct impact on customer value
  • Work with product and ML teams to help translate abstract and complex concepts into concrete software
  • Own key architectural decisions
  • Continually make incremental improvements to their systems
  • Help the team scale by mentoring junior team members
  • Play a significant role in the future direction of the software function

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.
