Software Engineer | Oxford | Onsite, 5 Days Per Week | Permanent
Languages and Platforms:
C++ | Python | Linux
We’re partnering with an established, engineering-led organization in Oxford that’s looking for a talented Software Engineer to join its growing development team.
The interesting thing about this opportunity is that the team is genuinely open on level. You could be an earlier career engineer looking to accelerate your development, or a highly experienced engineer looking for genuinely challenging technical work. What matters most is strong technical ability, a passion for software engineering, and the ability to solve difficult problems.
You’ll be working on sophisticated backend systems that support business-critical applications, using C++ and Python in an environment where software quality, innovation, and continuous improvement are taken seriously.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Designing, developing, and maintaining software using C++ and Python
- Building reliable, scalable backend systems and services
- Writing clean, well-tested, and maintainable code
- Solving complex technical problems alongside experienced engineers
- Contributing across the full software development lifecycle, from design through to deployment and ongoing support
- Participating in a shared on-call support rota
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
What We’re Looking For
We’re deliberately not putting a particular seniority against this role. We’re much more interested in your technical ability and approach to engineering. You’ll ideally have experience across many of the following:
- Commercial software development using C++ and Python
- Developing software within Linux environments
- Backend systems and services
- Git and version control
- Strong software engineering principles
- Complex technical problem-solving
- Working effectively within a collaborative engineering team
A degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or another STEM discipline would be beneficial, although equivalent commercial experience is equally welcome.
Nice to Have
Experience in any of the following would be useful, but isn’t essential:
- Distributed systems or scalable backend architectures
- TCP/IP networking
- SQL and data processing
- Pandas
- Bash scripting
- Large and complex datasets
- Financial services, scientific computing, or another performance-driven technical environment
What’s on Offer
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Salary and package dependent on experience and level
- Genuinely challenging technical projects
- A collaborative engineering culture with real ownership and autonomy
- Ongoing professional development and long-term career progression
- The opportunity to work alongside highly capable software engineers
Location
This is a full-time, office-based position in Oxford, with the team working onsite five days per week. Applicants must have the unrestricted right to work in the UK as visa sponsorship is not available.
Interested?
If you’re a C++ and Python engineer who enjoys solving difficult problems and building high-quality software, we’d love to hear from you.
You don’t need to match a particular level or job title. If the technical experience looks right, let’s have a conversation.
