Creative Technologist (AI)
Build Halt · [London / on-site] · Full-time
Hi. We're looking for someone who can't stop building things. You know the type. You get an idea on a Tuesday night, and by Wednesday morning there's a rough prototype, three new ideas off the back of it, and a tab open to a model that was released yesterday. If that sounds like you, keep reading.
We're Build Halt. We're small, we move fast, and we think the most interesting creative work of the next decade will come from people who think in ideas and build with AI. We're after one of those people.
This isn't a "here's your brief" job. You'll come up with ideas, pull them apart, rebuild them better, and take them all the way to something real. We want your mind to shape where this goes: what we make, how we make it, and what we try next.
What your days might look like
- Turning a half-formed idea into a working prototype before lunch
- Chaining models, tools and agents in ways the docs never mentioned
- Running experiments that might fail spectacularly, and telling us what you learned
- Spotting what's coming next in AI before it's on everyone's feed
- Taking the ideas that work and turning them into things people use, love and talk about
- Having real say in the big decisions, not just the creative ones
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.

- Build things yourself, whether that's code, no-code, node graphs or duct tape
- Have a folder of side projects nobody asked you to make
- Care as much about why something should exist as about how to make it
