CTO Role
As CTO, you will be the technical leader of the business, working closely with the founders to shape our product and technology strategy as we scale from Series A towards Series B.
You will lead our 6-person engineering team in India, while remaining sufficiently hands-on and responsible for the architecture, performance, and roadmap of Nina and Trace, and for building the engineering organization behind them whilst staying close enough to the code and models to make sharp technical calls.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the company’s technology and AI strategy, including the end-to-end technical vision and architecture for Nina and Trace.
- Lead, mentor and scale the distributed engineering team, establishing the culture, standards, processes and hiring strategy needed for the next stage of growth.
- Drive the evolution and performance of Nina and Trace, improving agent accuracy, reliability, latency, cost and scalability.
- Establish robust approaches to AI agent evaluation, orchestration, safety & reliability.
- Design and scale the underlying data pipelines, integrations, verification workflows and infrastructure supporting the agents.
- Own technology practices around data privacy, security and responsible AI, particularly for sensitive candidate and background-check data.
- Translate product, customer and commercial priorities into a clear technical roadmap and execution plan, working closely with founders, product and go-to-market teams.
- Make strategic architecture, technology, build-vs-buy and model-vs-API decisions to optimise long-term capability, cost and scalability.
- Shape the future technology organisation, including team structure, engineering processes and talent strategy.
- Represent technology and engineering with customers, partners, the board and investors as required.
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.
