We’re partnering with an amazing organisation on a Solutions Architect hire for one of its most significant digital transformation programmes.
This is a high-profile, business-critical programme focused on modernising a complex technology estate and bringing together historically fragmented systems, data and processes into a modern, cloud-native digital ecosystem.
The ambition is significant: transform customer and employee experiences, simplify complex processes and deliver substantial efficiencies across the organisation.
This is an opportunity to take real architectural ownership – not simply advise from the sidelines.
The Role
You’ll join an established, cross-functional technology team and take end-to-end architectural ownership across multiple engineering workstreams.
Working closely with Engineering Managers, Java Engineers, Product, Data and Security, you’ll turn complex business requirements into clear, scalable technical solutions and ensure architectural decisions translate into successful delivery.
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.

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.
You’ll operate across cloud architecture, APIs, integrations, data and user-facing applications, while helping teams navigate the realities of modernising a complex enterprise technology environment.

- Design scalable, secure and resilient AWS cloud-native solutions.
- Define architecture across microservices, serverless and event-driven systems.
- Shape API and integration architecture across modern and legacy platforms.
- Define system boundaries, integration contracts and architectural standards.
- Produce and maintain architecture documentation, including ADRs, solution designs and non-functional requirements.
- Lead architecture reviews covering security, reliability, performance, scalability, observability and cost.
- Identify architectural and integration risks early and drive pragmatic solutions.
- Work directly with engineering teams throughout agile delivery.
- Collaborate with Product, Data, Security and senior technical stakeholders.
- Explore opportunities to responsibly incorporate AI/ML capabilities into the wider platform.
