Role Overview
You will join our Data Engineering team as an integral member. Our team works closely to solve challenging problems with a direct impact on both the business and trading activities. In this role, you will contribute to the development of our next-generation data platform, designed to incrementally ingest, aggregate, and index data from diverse sources. This project is of critical importance to the continued success of the business. Key aspects of the project include distributed systems development, large-scale data processing, and building a platform that is fast, reliable, scalable, and user-friendly. Our primary language is Rust. While prior Rust experience is welcome, it is not required - we are equally open to strong candidates with experience in C++, Go, or Java. Experience with financial data is advantageous but not essential. We welcome talented developers without a background in financial services and are committed to providing training and guidance.
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.
