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.
The Role
A technical, hands-on role where you will:
- Build stateful microservices, event-driven ingestion pipelines, and state machines in Python and PostgreSQL.
- Design multi-tenant architecture enabling seamless onboarding of new sites and customers through configuration.
- Ensure sub-second bounded read latency, fault-tolerant execution, and zero-downtime production deployments.
- Interface third-party operational feeds, legacy channels, and communication streams into a unified data schema.
- Define robust TypeScript API contracts consumed by the frontend and establish testing/on-call standards on AWS.
- Work directly on-site with live operational staff to fold real-world feedback into platform capabilities.
The Essential Requirements
- 3+ years of production backend software engineering experience using Python.
- Strong relational database modeling expertise in PostgreSQL, covering concurrency, locks, and idempotency.
- Hands-on experience with event-driven architectures, state machines, and AWS cloud environments.
- London-based location with full eligibility to work in the United Kingdom.
