Software Engineer | Defence Start-Up | London

Software Engineer required for an early-stage defence technology start-up building mission-critical systems with real-world impact.

You’ll join a small, high-calibre engineering team designing, building, and deploying core technology. This is a deeply hands-on role for someone who wants significant ownership, technical depth, and end-to-end responsibility over the systems they build.

You are

  • 4+ years of professional Software Development experience
  • Proficient in Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go, Java, or C++
  • A true generalist - comfortable working across backend, infrastructure, data, and automation
  • Most effective in fast-paced, high-autonomy environments
  • Motivated by building technology with real-world impact
  • Interested in defence, aerospace, or national security technology

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.
