Context
We employ over 1,000 colleagues across Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham and Cambridge, with industry-leading experts across multiple disciplines. Our digital team is over 20 strong, with a great foundation in AI (Google Gemini). You’ll work closely with our Software Engineering Lead as well as an AI-specific placement student.
This is an amazing opportunity to have a significant impact in a short space of time, with plenty of opportunity to develop your career.
What we need
You’ll have a background in Software Engineering, ideally working within one organisation rather than within an agency, using TypeScript or Python.
- You’ll be capable of building AI-enabled software into products and processes: agents, retrieval systems and integrations. Ideally you’ll have done this in a workplace setting, however, if you have a passion for this and can demonstrate capability through your own personal examples then this will be applicable - having built and deployed RAG systems and MCP.
- Automated testing, code review and continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) as part of a team.
- Calling large language models (LLMs) from production code, including structured output, error handling, rate limits and retries.
- Cloud experience, we use Google Cloud but any cloud-based experience will be applicable.
- You’ll enjoy collaborating with direct colleagues in the digital team as well as stakeholders to understand business needs and implement improvements.
- A real drive to take ownership and be proactive. Looking to influence change and improvement.
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.
