Rust Developer
I’m currently working with a leading global quantitative investment firm that is expanding its engineering team in London and looking for talented Rust Developers.
This is an opportunity to work in a highly technical environment where engineering is at the heart of systematic trading, quantitative research, and high-performance financial technology.
You’ll be working alongside experienced software engineers and quantitative researchers to build and optimize high-performance systems, with a strong focus on speed, scalability, reliability, and clean engineering.
The role:
- Design and develop production-quality Rust systems
- Build high-performance infrastructure supporting systematic trading
- Work on performance-critical systems where efficiency and reliability are crucial
- Solve complex problems around concurrency, memory management, and distributed systems
- Collaborate closely with quantitative researchers and software engineers
- Contribute to system architecture and engineering best practices
- Continuously optimize systems for performance, scalability, and resilience
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.
