The Engineering Lead
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.
Responsibilities
- Guide small (≤4 engineers) technical squads while staying intimately involved in the codebase.
- Spend ~70% of time technical: Design and build AI-native solutions, back-end infrastructure, and seamless frontend experiences.
- 30% people-focused: Mentor, coach, and support team growth.
- For the first three months, act as an individual contributor, embedding in the product and tech stack before transitioning into a leadership role.
Key Tasks
- Lead teams while remaining hands-on in development.
- Contribute across the full stack: Backend (Node.js/TypeScript, Go), frontend (React), and cloud (GCP/AWS).
- Focus on scalability for thousands of customers.
- Promote best practices, raising the internal technical bar.
- Collaborate cross-functionally (product, design) to deliver outstanding user experiences.
