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.
Experience Required
- Strong hands-on experience with Application Security tooling, particularly SCA and SAST
- Strong understanding of secure software development practices
- Deep hands-on experience with threat modelling
- Strong understanding of secure coding principles and OWASP
- Ability to engage with software teams and speak their language
- Relevant backgrounds may include AppSec, Product Security, Ethical Hacking / Offensive Security, DevSecOps, Secure SDLC or Penetration Testing
- Experience with electronics, hardware or robotics would be useful but is not essential
