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'll be doing
You'll build and improve the common parts of the Android app, such as login, in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose.
You'll also work on how features built by other teams fit into the app.
When your code is ready, you'll put it up for review. You'll review other people's code too.
Once a release is live, you'll keep an eye on Crashlytics. If something is crashing, you'll find out why and fix it.
You'll work closely with the QA and backend engineers, and speak up early when you spot a technical risk.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What's in it for you
You'll work with native Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on a government app, and see how features from other teams come together in it.
Most of it happens from home.
What you'll need to be considered
You need strong commercial experience in native Android development.
You should know Kotlin and Jetpack Compose well, and have used Crashlytics to keep an app stable.
You're comfortable in a small, fast-moving team. You're happy to say what you think in a code review.
