About The Role
We're looking for experienced software engineers to help evaluate and improve next-generation AI systems. In this role, you'll use your software engineering expertise to create challenging, realistic tasks that test how well AI models can solve complex programming problems.
You'll design reinforcement learning environments where AI agents interact with real software projects and tools to diagnose and solve engineering challenges. Assignments may include debugging, implementing new features, refactoring existing code, and improving performance.
You'll also create reproducible environments, reliable verification systems, and reference solutions that accurately evaluate an AI agent's reasoning, tool usage, and software engineering capabilities.
Prior AI or machine learning experience is not required. Strong software engineering expertise is the most important qualification.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.
