Role Description
We are building the next generation of AI-native engineering talent: engineers who use AI as a core part of how they work, not as an add-on. As an AI Engineer (Software), you will design, build, and ship production-grade software across the full stack, using AI-assisted tooling as standard daily practice alongside your core engineering skills.
You will work on real client programs across industries, building production-grade software that connects to and supports agentic AI systems — understanding how your full-stack work integrates with agent architecture, LLM APIs, and enterprise AI pipelines. This is not a stepping-stone role: it is a core engineering function in the most in-demand part of the market, with a direct pathway to the Forward Deployed Engineer program for those who develop agentic depth.
We offer what no single product company can: breadth across every industry, every enterprise technology stack, and every level of organizational complexity — combined with vendor fellowship access inside Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google engineering teams, structured AI certification pathways, and a clear development track toward agentic and forward-deployed engineering.
Key Responsibilities
- Use AI coding assistants daily as a standard part of delivery, actively, frequently, and with demonstrable impact on productivity and output quality
- Integrate LLM APIs into applications in production: calling AI provider APIs in live code, managing token limits and latency, and building initial abstraction layers
- Apply AI across the full software delivery lifecycle: AI-generated tests, AI-assisted debugging, AI-accelerated code review, and prompt engineering for development tasks
- Own the quality of AI-generated outputs in your delivery scope, exercise engineering judgment about reliability, limitations, and failure modes; know when AI output is production-ready and when it is not
- Define and track KPIs to evaluate the effectiveness and ROI of AI-assisted workflows; present AI productivity and quality metrics to project stakeholders
- Own delivery end-to-end — from design through to production support — in Agile sprint cycles alongside client engineering teams
- Contribute to shared knowledge bases, reusable components, and internal AI tooling standards that benefit the wider team
- Build and integrate the application layers, APIs, and interfaces that connect full-stack systems to agentic backends — understanding data flows, context handoffs, and integration points between your code and AI pipelines
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.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field
- Commercial software engineering experience in production environments (or equivalent demonstrated through academic projects, internships, or shipped personal projects)
- Proficiency in at least one primary backend language: Python, Java, or TypeScript
- Demonstrated hands-on experience using AI tools actively in day-to-day engineering work — with practical examples of how AI was used to solve real problems, iterate on outputs, and improve delivery; including direct experience calling LLM APIs in production code with an understanding of token management, latency, and cost tradeoffs
- Basic understanding of web technologies including JavaScript, HTML, and CSS
- Familiarity with cloud fundamentals (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containers (Docker), and CI/CD pipelines
- Understanding of Agile delivery fundamentals
- Experience with databases — SQL or NoSQL
- Ability to validate, evaluate, and improve AI-generated outputs; understanding of AI limitations and responsible use
- Familiarity with agentic system concepts — awareness of orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent), RAG pipelines, and how full-stack applications connect to agent-based architecture; production experience preferred, conceptual understanding required
