Software Engineer in Test

Quality Engineer Build quality into every release

We’re looking for a hands-on Quality Engineer who thrives in modern engineering environments and is passionate about building quality into products—not testing it at the end.

You’ll work alongside engineers to improve reliability, reduce defects, and deliver with confidence, embedding quality across the entire development lifecycle—from early design decisions through to production insights.

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.
