Software Engineer | Technical Consultancy
Want real autonomy, genuinely interesting technical problems, and work that matters across policing, national security, and central government?
Our client is a fast-scaling boutique technical consultancy working exclusively in that space, with a strong leadership team and real delivery credibility. They're now hiring several Software Engineers across a range of stacks and seniorities who can contribute from day one.
They offer end-to-end project visibility, serious investment in your development, and strong packages and bonuses, with routes to eDV clearance for those who want to work on the most sensitive national security programmes. Progression from there is yours to shape, whether that's management, architecture, or staying deep on the technical side.
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.
The Role
You'll be building and delivering software as part of capability development programmes across national security, policing, and the wider public sector. The work moves at pace, and the impact is tangible, whether that's designing resilient backend services, integrating complex data sources, or building the tooling that analysts rely on to make critical decisions.
Technical Requirements
- 3+ years of commercial engineering experience.
- They're open across the stack, with strong backend or cloud experience the priority.
- Backend: Python, Java, C++, C#, or Rust
- Cloud: AWS, Azure, or Kubernetes
- Frontend: TypeScript or React (nice to have)
