C#/.NET Developer – Backtesting & Test Automation Framework
We're looking for a C#/.NET Developer with a strong testing mindset to build a backtesting and test automation framework around an in-house trading system. We're looking for a developer who understands how to design robust, scalable frameworks and can turn complex scenarios into automated, repeatable tests.
What you'll be doing
You'll work closely with a tester to build a framework that transforms backtesting scenarios into automated tests.
The platform will effectively be treated as a black box, meaning you'll focus on observable inputs, outputs, and event-driven behaviour.
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.
