Overview

We are looking for a contract Engineer to join an Energy Tech start-up, to build out their proof of concept (as a first stage).

They need someone who can:

  • Built 0-1 and work fully end to end (full platform ownership experience).
  • Architect and build solo (with guidance from the founders).

You'll be building their event driven integration layer, retry/idempotency/reconciliation logic against an external partner API, telemetry ingestion at volume, and a pluggable decisioning engine with safety guardrails.

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.

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.

Essential experience

  • Java/Kotlin or Typescript and AWS.
  • Connected-devices, DERMS/VPP, smart charging, or industrial IoT.

Please note, this isn't a DevOps/platform-infra role, cloud and CI/CD are a small slice of it. The core is backend architecture and integration logic for systems that talk to unreliable external APIs and have to reconcile state.
