Description
At Factor, we’re building the commercialisation layer for the new energy economy. Our engineers don’t just write code — they shape the foundations of a platform designed to transform how energy is priced, forecast, and delivered globally.
As a senior engineer, you will play a pivotal role in developing the core of our system: scalable data pipelines, pricing engines, and APIs that support real-time decision making for energy retailers and their customers. You’ll work in a highly capable senior team, where ownership, curiosity, and engineering excellence are expected — and where AI tools are used daily to multiply impact and velocity.
Your Key Responsibilities
- Build and ship backend features and services with a focus on elegance, scalability, performance, and resilience.
- Design and evolve Factor’s core data and application architecture (Typescript rust, AWS, etc).
- Solve complex, end-to-end problems across the stack, from data ingestion and transformation, complex algorithms, through to APIs and partner integrations.
- Contribute to engineering standards, peer reviews, and design discussions that raise the technical bar.
- Use AI and automation to accelerate development cycles, testing, and deployment.
- Help shape a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and high ownership.
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.
