About Us
We’re building an AI productivity SaaS startup, organized as a cooperative (shared ownership based on real contribution).
Role Overview
We’re looking for an additional Founder focused on Technology & Engineering (CTO track).
Important Upfront
- There is no fixed cash compensation at the start
- Cash payment depends entirely on revenue or external funding
- You do not have to contribute any money, other cofounders have contributed enough and already cover expenses, especially product development
- Once revenue or funding comes in, cash is shared among all founders
Responsibilities
Technology & Architecture (core focus)
- Own the technical vision and architecture of the product
- Guide decisions around AI integration, scalability, and system design
- Ensure high code quality, maintainability, and performance
- Collaborate closely with product & design to deliver a clean, fast, intuitive UX
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.
