I'm partnering with a globally recognised financial services organisation, renowned for operating one of the largest and most complex technology estates in the world. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced z/OS Systems Programmer to join a high-performing mainframe engineering team supporting critical business systems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Upgrade, maintain and support the z/OS operating system.
  • Manage and support IBM and CA/Broadcom products.
  • Provide production support across the mainframe environment.
  • Support software deployments, testing and platform improvements.
  • Participate in an on-call rota and occasional out-of-hours implementations.

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.
