About the position
We are looking for individuals of all degrees who are interested in exploring what a career as a Trading Desk Operations Engineer (TDOE) might be like. Our TDOE internship is an immersive and fast-paced program that allows you to work on real-world projects that are directly tied to the challenges we face daily at the trading desk, all guided by a dedicated TDOE mentor. You will have the opportunity to wear many hats and tackle diverse projects such as:
- Managing and optimising infrastructure and operational processes
- Supporting trading systems and workflows by executing data queries and coordinating with stakeholders
- Designing and implementing solutions for a range of trading and operations-related issues on the desk
Through these experiences, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of the trading product, including its life cycle, regulatory considerations, and operational workflows. Plus, you’ll have a chance to build off your new professional growth with bootcamps and classes that are tailored to accelerate your technical and operational expertise.
Reasons to use Rodeo

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

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.
