Global Leading Tech Trading Firm
Our client, a global leading tech trading firm, is hiring a Python Developer to join its technology team in London. The firm operates at serious scale in fast-moving financial markets, and engineering sits right at the centre of how the business runs.
You'll work across a mix of production systems and internal tooling, with the scope to move between projects as priorities shift. It's a good fit for someone who likes variety, takes ownership without needing much oversight, and writes clean, maintainable code under real production pressure.
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.
