Software Engineer (AWS, Python, C#/C++, CFD/FEA)

Oxford - 3+ days per week in office. £45000 - £68000 + Package.

Your new company

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.

Your new role

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.
  • Integrating modules into a cloud compute environment for a team that runs Agile.
  • Wrapping commercial simulation tools.
  • Integrating everything into automated workflows.
  • Helping 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.
