Software Engineer
Software Developer - London, Hybrid
A growing professional services business in London is looking for a talented Software Developer to join their Technology and Data Team.
This is a hands-on, end-to-end role for someone who takes genuine satisfaction in building software that people actually use, production systems that make a real difference to how a business operates—not just prototypes that never see the light of day.
What Is In It for You?
- Salary up to £60,000
- Hybrid working (2-3 days in central London)
- Company benefits
- Career progression
What You’ll Be Doing
- Monitoring, debugging, and improving live systems, taking ownership of what you ship—not just handing it off.
- Designing, building, and deploying full-stack web applications and internal tooling used daily across the business.
- Writing clean, well-structured Python for APIs, backend services, and data pipelines.
- Deploying and managing applications in cloud environments, keeping production systems reliable and performant.
- Using containerisation tools (e.g., Docker) to package and run services consistently across environments.
- Collaborating with the wider team to build data infrastructure supporting reporting and analysis.
- Contributing to technical design discussions and code reviews as the team continues to grow.
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.
What We’re Looking For
- At least one to two years of commercial software development experience.
- Strong Python skills—comfortable writing scripts, services, and APIs.
- Working knowledge of cloud deployment.
- Solid experience with both front-end and back-end development.
- A problem-solving mindset.
- Exposure to containerisation tools (Docker) is a plus, but not a requirement.
- Someone who thrives in a small, fast-moving team and communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical colleagues.
Why This Role Is Worth Your Attention
In many organisations, developers at this stage often find themselves siloed—pinned to one layer of the stack, one corner of the product, with limited visibility of the bigger picture. This role is exactly the opposite.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll gain genuinely broad experience across:
- Cloud infrastructure and deployment
- Data tooling, pipelines, and reporting systems
- Full-stack product development
- Workflow automation and internal platform building
The team is small enough that your voice carries real weight, and the business is growing quickly enough that the work will keep evolving. There’s no bureaucratic distance between you and the people using what you build—making all the difference.
Ready to Apply? If this sounds like the kind of role where you’d thrive, please apply with your most up-to-date CV for consideration.
