About the Role
We’re looking for excellent developers to join our growing Software Engineering organization. Our work is collaborative, and our hiring reflects that. Interviewing at PDT is focused less on filling a specific role, and more on finding great people who can build long-term, varied careers with us.
Software Engineers at PDT are responsible for building and maintaining the technology that enables all parts of the trading life cycle, including building the trading systems, risk controls, and post-trade technologies.
We are looking for people that can add to a company that values creativity, energy, and problems that are solved by collective thinking. We are focused, deliberate, but nimble. We want our people to have the freedom to assess and then solve the challenging problems they are faced with independence and agility. This gives them an opportunity to make a direct impact on our bottom line. For the right talent, PDT offers fantastic growth potential.
This is a hybrid position and will require the person to work from our London office at minimum 3 days a week.
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.
