We’re building a different kind of technology consultancy: one where AI isn’t an add-on to the development process, it’s central to how problems are understood, software is built and organisations work.
We’re looking for a talented, curious software engineer who already works AI-first and wants to develop into an exceptional consultant. You don’t need to arrive as the finished article. We’re looking for strong engineering instincts, raw problem-solving ability, curiosity and the confidence to work with people. We’ll help you develop the consulting, facilitation and leadership skills around that.
What you'll be doing
You’ll work directly with clients on engagements taking real business and technology problems from ambiguity through to production.
That could include:
- Turning business problems and desired outcomes into practical AI-driven solutions
- Building applications, integrations and agentic workflows using LLMs and APIs
- Using tools such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor as a fundamental part of your engineering workflow
- Taking products from customer concept through architecture, build, testing and production deployment
- Helping teams tackle engineering problems such as refactoring, technical debt and modernisation using AI-first approaches
- Rapidly understanding unfamiliar systems and codebases
- Working with stakeholders to discover problems, explore options and communicate solutions
- Helping client engineers adopt new tools and ways of working
- Over time, developing the skills to facilitate workshops, coach teams, lead workstreams and advise senior stakeholders
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.

- Can take an unclear problem, break it down and turn it into a working solution
- Has sound software engineering and architectural judgement
- Is comfortable learning unfamiliar technologies and domains quickly
- Is naturally curious about new technology and actively experiments with it
- Communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical people
- Is engaging, enthusiastic and able to bring people with you
- Wants to develop beyond engineering into consulting, coaching and leadership

Hiring Process
- Introductory conversation
