We’re on the hunt for a User Researcher to join our team! A researcher in this role will be responsible for uncovering user needs, behaviours and motivations to shape evidence-based, user-centred digital services.

You must be confident planning and conducting research, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and championing user-centred design across the organisation while supporting agile, iterative delivery.

About Us

We are a software consultancy that provides highly skilled consultants to support clients’ business needs. Test Driven Solutions has had a successful five years since incorporation in 2020, building a close-knit culture and delivering to various clients. Our consultants work across green/brownfield projects using the latest cutting-edge technologies.

We work within private and public sectors, including financial services, government, property, education, manufacturing, gaming and renewable energy organisations. We continuously grow as a business, with new client wins and an ongoing internal ERP system being built.

Our Culture

At TDS we uphold clear and unwavering values, fostering a community-oriented ethos that encourages close collaboration across our diverse disciplines. We hold regular team meet-ups, both online and in person, and monthly company wide social events. In addition, we organise company away weekends, which have previously taken us to cities like Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, Riga and Dublin. These trips offer the team a chance to unwind and strengthen connections outside of the office. It is important to us to create an environment where strong connections are built and camaraderie is nurtured within our team.

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.
