At Gradient Labs, we're building the AI customer operations platform for financial services.
Founded in 2023, we now work with some of the biggest names in banking and fintech. Our platform runs specialist agents, purpose-built for financial services, to eliminate manual work across customer support and back-office operations. Together, they give product and operations teams the visibility and control to trust every outcome.
We're a team of builders from companies like Monzo, Wise, Mastercard, Revolut and Google. If you're excited to tackle some of the hardest problems in AI and help shape the future of customer operations, we'd love to hear from you.
🎯 How you’ll make an impact
This isn't a maintenance role or a feature factory. At Gradient Labs, you will own systems that matter — from the first architectural decision through to production, scale, and everything that breaks along the way.
- Build the OS for AI Agents — Contribute to a safe, scalable platform that lets us iterate on autonomous agent capabilities faster than anyone else. You are building the infrastructure that makes AI actually work in production.
- Ship Resilient Systems — Design and own systems that hold up under failures, retry storms, and resource starvation — with full observability baked in. Reliability is a baseline, not an aspiration.
- Take Products from 0 → 1 → Scale — Scope something from scratch, make the early architectural calls, and stay responsible for it as it grows. We build with conviction and we see things through.
- Move Fast, Ship Often — Iterate in small increments. Multiple deploys a day. Comfort with ambiguity is not optional — it is the job. The mission moves faster than the roadmap.
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 bring
- Substantial tenure building production software at a fast-growing company — fintech, AI, consumer tech, or any environment where pace and stakes were both high
- Proven experience owning complex, high-stakes systems end to end — not handing off at merge, but staying accountable through observability, iteration, and scale
- Deep fluency in Go (Golang) and comfort operating across a modern backend stack (PostgreSQL, Temporal, GCP, Kubernetes)
- A product instinct that goes beyond technical elegance — you think from the customer backwards and bring that into every architectural decision
- Senior, Staff, Principal or Distinguished level in practice — someone who has operated with real scope and real accountability
- Genuine excitement for autonomous AI as a platform shift, not a trend — you want to build the infrastructure that makes agents genuinely reliable
- Strong opinions, loosely held — conviction without ego, and always willing to be wrong in pursuit of the right answer
