Software Engineer (AWS, Python, C#/C++, CFD/FEA)
Oxford - 3-4 days per week in office.
£45000 - £75000 + Package.
About the Role
You'll be joining a cutting-edge engineering and technology organisation that has grown rapidly in the UK, now pushing into global markets. Formed by world-leading experts in science/software the business is redefining how high-performance components/instruments are designed.
In this role you'll be tackling engineering challenges that most organisations simply can't touch and building proprietary software that makes a difference in the world. You will thrive in an environment where new challenges appear daily and innovation is the expectation.
Your role will involve developing core modules within the Engineering design platform, and integrating modules into a cloud compute environment for a team that runs Agile. You'll wrap commercial simulation tools, integrate everything into automated workflows and help streamline complex engineering processes through high-quality automation. The right person will be motivated and hungry to solve first-of-their-kind challenges.
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.
