We are
A forward-thinking services company at the forefront of AI-native innovation. We partner with enterprise clients to create next-generation, agent-powered workflows engineered to scale in real-world settings. Our engineers embed deeply with customers, moving projects beyond experimentation into operational reality.
You are
An AI Native Engineer with a strong foundation in building cloud-native solutions and hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic systems, especially for enterprise environments. You’re a critical thinker who thrives in ambiguity, delivering concrete results by designing, building, and running AI agents that augment workflows and scale across modern infrastructure. You'll shape how enterprises adopt AI-native engineering - either by leading complex agentic solutions and developing engineering talent, or by owning critical technical areas end-to-end as a senior IC.
The Work
You’ll partner directly with client stakeholders — acting as both technologist and trusted advisor. You’ll partner with stakeholders to define use cases, rapidly prototype, and deploy agentic workflows that are robust, secure, and operational in complex enterprise domains. Often, these will be net-new platforms and systems that need to be stitched together in our clients’ environments alongside our ecosystem partners.
Agent Architecture & Engineering
- Design and build enterprise-ready AI agents incorporating retrieval, orchestration, policy-based routing, tool invocation, evaluation harnesses, and lifecycle observability.
- Implement resilient, testable, and maintainable agentic workflows that can be iterated on quickly.
AI Platform Integration
- Develop and/or extend abstraction layers across AI providers (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, etc.) to enable seamless integration and multi-provider enablement.
- Contribute to shared libraries, SDKs, and patterns that can be reused across clients.
Cloud-Native Engineering
- Leverage containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), microservices, serverless, event-driven architectures, CI/CD, and observability stacks to deliver scalable AI-native systems.
- Own deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting for your services in production.
Domain-Specific Workflows
- Tailor and deploy agentic applications across verticals (e.g., finance, healthcare, retail), adapting to domain-specific processes and constraints.
- Work closely with client SMEs to translate business workflows into agentic solutions.
Client Engagement
- Participate in and/or lead design workshops, POCs, and code-with sessions to shape data-driven agent workflows with stakeholders, fostering trust and adoption.
- Communicate trade-offs, risks, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
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.

You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
Measure & Improve
- Define and use key metrics, test harnesses, and evaluation plans to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost effectiveness.
- Iterate rapidly based on data, feedback, and changing requirements.
Knowledge Sharing
- Craft reusable patterns, documentation, and best practices that influence internal assets and client roadmaps.
- Contribute to internal communities of practice around AI-native and agentic engineering.
Travel may be required for this role. The amount of travel will vary from 25% to 75% depending on business need and client requirements.
Here’s What You Need
- Engineering experience with cloud-native systems (APIs, microservices, containerization, serverless).
- Minimum of 1 year of hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic solutions (agents, orchestration, context engineering, RAG, workflows) in production or near-production environments.
- Experience with modern AI platforms — OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, or open-source models — including building or using abstraction layers for multi-provider pipelines.
- Strong Python, Java or equivalent experience building 12 factor applications + Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Helm).
- Experience in client-facing communication and collaboration, including leading technical discussions, workshops, or delivery sessions under ambiguity.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent OR equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience. (If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience)
Bonus Points If You Have:
- Relevant AI certifications or agentic tooling experience are a plus.
- You’ve served as an Agentic / AI Engineer in an enterprise environment.
- You’ve built multi agent orchestrations using (Lang-graph, Crew AI, Claude SDK, Open AI SDK, etc).
- Have a GitHub repo with an agent/plugins you have created.
- You have additional AI certifications or experience with agentic tooling and frameworks.
- You’ve defined or worked with enterprise-grade architectures for compound AI systems, orchestration frameworks, or agent registry / stream-based architectures.
- You understand the AI-native paradigm — blending cloud-native with generative model architectures — optimizing for performance, modularity, and efficiency.
- You’ve delivered solutions across multiple industries (e.g., finance, healthcare) by tailoring agentic workflows to industry needs.
- Driven execution across multiple workstreams, ensuring quality, delivery, and alignment with client outcomes.
