Software Developer | Java, C#, Rust, Python | Newcastle upon Tyne | £80,000 – £180,000 Base – salary is genuinely open for the right person at any level – multiple positions available
Your gateway into Capital Markets - no industry background needed.
Are you the kind of person who finished top of your class without really trying? Who gets restless doing the same thing twice? Who wants a career that pays like the City, while living in the North East?
This is that role.
My client, a fast-growing technology joint venture between a global management consulting leader and a global alternative investment fund manager, is hiring multiple exceptional Software Developers to join their technology team, building bespoke systems across banking, financial services, private capital and defence.
Salaries range from £80,000 to £180,000+ - markedly above the standard Newcastle rate - with rapid growth behind fast-tracked progression.
Newcastle upon Tyne, office-based, with some UK travel. Already in the North East, or ready to relocate? Either way, you get a genuinely exceptional salary against Newcastle's cost of living - city-centre culture, a short commute, coastline and countryside on your doorstep.
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.
Why this is different:
- Capital Markets, without the CV gatekeeping - Investment Banking, Fintech and Investment Management experience is a serious bonus, but if you don't have it, this is one of the few genuine ways in
- Real ownership from day one – you will work directly with users, stakeholders and subject matter experts, taking early responsibility for high-quality, end-to-end delivery
- Pay that reflects your ability, not your postcode
- A tech bench that's building, not maintaining - high-stakes, high-visibility work from the outset
- A route to specialise - standout performers can move toward Quant Developer or Desk Developer work, embedded with Front Office teams
What you'll be doing:
- Engaging directly with clients, stakeholders and subject matter experts to define requirements and design pragmatic, effective solutions
- Taking early ownership of end-to-end software delivery
- Partnering with client teams and challenging existing systems and processes to drive technical excellence
- Building genuine domain expertise in Capital Markets and financial services as you go
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Who we're looking for:
- An outstanding academic track record - this client hires on raw academic power first
- Strong, hands-on skills in Java, C#/.NET, Rust or Python
- A genuinely entrepreneurial streak - you take ownership, run towards problems, and don't wait to be told what to do
- An appetite to build commercial and market knowledge, not just technical skill
- Sharp communication - equally comfortable in front of a client or pairing with a teammate
- Investment Banking, Capital Markets, Fintech or Financial Services experience is a strong plus, but not required
If you're used to being the smartest person in the room and want a career that finally matches that, apply now. Multiple positions available.
