THE ROLE

Searchability is working with a well-established digital technology business to find a Software Engineer to join their development team. This is a fully remote position with a different working pattern: 11am to 7pm, Friday to Monday. That gives you a four-day week with Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off, so you get midweek time to yourself while everyone else is at work.

You'll be building and maintaining consumer-facing web platforms and services used by a large international audience.

ABOUT THE CLIENT

Our client is a long-standing, profitable technology business that delivers digital products and services to partners in the UK and overseas. They're a small, experienced team, so every developer has real ownership and their work makes a visible difference, backed by the stability of an established company.

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.
