We are building a platform bringing together professional profiles, personalised education and CPD, clinical content, training intelligence, courses, community and AI-supported recommendations.
We are looking for a developer with particularly strong mobile/cross-platform experience to work alongside our Lead Full-Stack Developer and wider product team.

Likely responsibilities include:
- Cross-platform iOS and Android application development
- Implementation of approved Figma UI
- Shared frontend components and design system
- Mobile navigation and interactions
- Professional profiles and community/feed functionality
- Courses and webinar functionality
- Notifications and API integrations
- VR training catalogue
- Backend development support
- Physical iOS and Android testing
- Bug fixing, optimisation and beta refinement
You'll work closely with our Lead Full-Stack Developer and Surghive's product, clinical, design and technical contributors.
What we're building
The wider MVP includes:
- Professional user accounts and verified surgical profiles
- Professional community/feed functionality
- Personalised clinical content
- Courses, webinars and CPD pathways
- Adaptive Course Discovery

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.
This is an MVP/beta build, so we're looking for someone comfortable building pragmatically and iteratively while maintaining a codebase that can continue developing into the commercial product.
Who we're looking for
We're particularly interested in developers with strong experience delivering cross-platform mobile products alongside modern web/backend applications.
Relevant experience might include:
- React Native / Expo or equivalent cross-platform technologies
- React / TypeScript or comparable modern frontend development
- API integrations
- Authentication and user accounts
- Mobile notifications
- Media/content-driven applications
- SaaS or community platforms
- Physical-device iOS and Android testing
- App-store build and deployment processes
- Git-based collaborative development
- Automated testing
Experience in HealthTech, MedTech, regulated environments, professional learning, SaaS or AI-enabled products would be valuable but is not essential.
Our current working technology proposal includes React Native/Expo alongside Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL and AWS. This is indicative rather than mandated, and we welcome technically justified alternatives.
How we work
We're looking for someone collaborative, pragmatic and comfortable working as part of a small startup team.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll be working from established product direction and Figma designs, but we expect the detail to evolve as the application is built and tested.
We want regular communication and working versions shared for feedback rather than long development periods without review.
