Job Role: Full Stack Engineer
We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer with solid fundamentals in both backend and frontend technologies to join one of our agile teams. You'll work alongside experienced engineers who will help you grow your skills across the full development stack. Your day-to-day work will involve building features that span both the backend (Java, Spring) and frontend (React, JavaScript), learning how these systems work together, and gradually taking on more ownership as you develop your expertise.
You'll be part of a collaborative team (typically 6-10 people) working in support of our Customer Service functions. You'll be involved in the full system/development life cycle from design discussions with your colleagues to the care of our products in production.
In this role, you'll develop a deep understanding of how frontend and backend systems interact, while focusing on building scalable, maintainable services to power our customer service back offices. This is a great role if you're ready to deepen your technical knowledge, learn best practices from experienced engineers, and grow into a senior engineer.
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.
