About the Opportunity
Quant Insight is looking for a Mid-Level Software Engineer to join our engineering team and help build the software behind our quantitative financial products.
This is a hands-on role working at the intersection of software engineering and quantitative finance. You'll work closely with software engineers and in-house quants to take financial algorithms and product ideas from concept through to production.
What You'll Be Doing
- Design, implement, test, and deploy production financial software.
- Work primarily with Python and C++.
- Turn quantitative models and financial algorithms into robust production systems.
- Build and maintain customer-facing APIs and applications.
- Develop and maintain services running on AWS.
- Work across the full software lifecycle, from design through deployment and ongoing support.
- Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and CI/CD processes.
- Diagnose and resolve issues in production systems.
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.

- Strong understanding of data structures and algorithms.
- Professional experience with Python, C++, and/or C.

- Ability to independently design, implement, and deploy software, with work reviewed by senior engineers.
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills.
Nice to Have
