Are you a .NET Software Engineer looking to broaden your experience into TypeScript, Node.js and AWS?
We’re recruiting for a mid-level Backend Engineer for an established retail business embarking on a significant technology modernisation programme.
You’ll join the Back of House engineering team, initially using your.NET experience to support business-critical applications and help prepare the existing estate for migration. Longer term, the direction is clear: moving away from legacy .NET applications towards modern, service-based architecture using TypeScript, Node.js and AWS.
This means you don’t need to already know the entire modern stack. If you have solid.NET experience and want to develop your skills across Node.js, TypeScript, cloud and modern architecture, you’ll have experienced engineers around you to support that progression.
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.
