About the Role
You get to build the tech function of a growing hedge fund from the ground up, working directly alongside the CTO.
This is a small hedge fund that spun out of an alternative investment firm, carrying a lot of legacy proprietary tech with it. Right now, the technical work sits with one person. That person is the CTO, and he now needs someone to work directly alongside him to bring everything in-house as the firm grows.
You are the second technical hire.
That means real ownership, real variety, and real exposure. You are building out data pipelines, supporting infrastructure decisions, working across development and data analysis, and sitting in regular contact with senior stakeholders across the fund. Nothing is siloed here. You work across the whole business and your fingerprints are on it.
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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The environment is collaborative and tight-knit. People lean on each other, learn from each other, and nobody is left to figure things out alone. That said, not everything is spelled out for you. You will need to bring your own ideas to the CTO proactively, spot what needs doing, and take ownership of it.
