AI-First Engineering & Consultant

Clear Rock AI | Remote-first, UK

Instead of sending us a traditional PDF CV, create, link or upload an existing HTML click-through CV that demonstrates how you can use modern AI coding tools to generate slick UI that really sells your capability

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.

  • Uses modern AI development tools every day, particularly Claude Code, Codex or Cursor
  • Has practical experience building software using LLMs, APIs and agentic workflows
  • 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

Must have: hands-on experience building AI-enabled software.

We care more about what you can build, how you think and how quickly you learn than a specific technology stack or number of years’ experience.

Hiring Process

  • Introductory conversation
  • Practical AI engineering challenge
  • Discussion of your solution, how you approached the problem and how you used AI

The challenge isn’t designed to test obscure technical knowledge. We want to understand how you solve problems, use AI as an engineering tool, make technical decisions and explain your thinking.
