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.
What You Will Do
- Build and deploy AI-powered agents, recommendation engines, and automation layers using LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, and prompt engineering.
- Connect disparate internal systems via APIs and data pipelines to streamline customer order tracking, financial reporting, and inventory forecasting.
- Prototype rapidly and work alongside a Product Manager and Data Scientist to turn messy operational requirements into usable internal tools.
The ideal candidate
- Proven builder mindset with professional experience in software engineering using Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and SQL to ship production-ready applications.
- Deep technical familiarity with APIs, databases, and AI orchestration tools, with a track record of building tools in scrappy or ambiguous environments.
- Practical, low-ego approach with the ability to navigate complex business operations like retail or supply chain without waiting for perfect conditions.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
