🚀 Technical Lead - Ruby / React
I'm currently working with a well-established technology business that is looking to hire an Engineering Manager to join their Belfast team.
This is a newly created role within a growing engineering function, offering the opportunity to take real ownership across people, delivery, and technical direction.
You'll work closely with senior stakeholders across Product and Engineering, helping improve ways of working, supporting delivery, and developing a talented team of engineers.
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.
