Design Engineer
The Role
Paires is an AI-first fundraising platform. We pair founders with the right investors from a large, engaged global investor network, then run the outreach that turns into meetings. It is a two-sided platform, live with paying clients, profitable and self-funded, built by a small, senior, flat team that ships fast.
What You Will Own
- Production UI in Next.js and React, designed and built by you.
- The founder journey and the investor portal, with the polish that makes them feel premium.
- A high bar on craft, the details most teams skip.
- Design decisions, not just implementation.
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.
