Software Engineer / Developer (Python SQL) London to £150k+


Are you a data savvy Software Engineer with strong Python coding skills?

You could be joining a Hedge Fund with complex work and substantial bonus earning potential.

As a Software Engineer you will join a growing team building a modern medallion architecture data platform, working across everything from data engineering and distributed systems to infrastructure and frontend. This is a hands-on role in a small, collaborative team where you'll have real ownership and impact.

Your role:

  • Design and build data platform components using Python
  • Develop and optimise ETL pipelines, Data Lakes/ Lakehouses and distributed systems
  • Improve infrastructure, observability and CI/CD practices
  • Maintain and evolve existing systems (microservices, ETL, Excel add-ins)
  • Support platform operations, ensuring reliability and performance

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.
