The move into leadership is where a lot of good engineering careers stall — usually because the company wanted a delivery manager, not a leader. The scaling companies we work with in London and San Francisco are different: they're hiring player-coaches and backing them properly. We spend real time with these teams, so we can tell you before you apply whether you'd be set up to lead or just to report upward.
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.
The opportunities
Salaries across these roles run up to £300k+, with equity on top. You'd stay close enough to the code to keep your credibility while owning the technical strategy and the team that delivers it. At this stage of a company, how the team gets built is the product decision — and it would be yours to make.
You could work on:
- Leading a team end-to-end across delivery, quality and technical direction
- Reviewing designs, unblocking the hardest problems and setting the bar
- Growing engineers through coaching, hiring and honest feedback
- Shaping roadmap and priorities alongside product and leadership

- The balance to stay hands-on while running people and delivery
- Shipping history at fast-moving, high-growth companies
- The communication range to work across engineering, product and the business
Why apply through Dex?
We put you in front of the right teams with a proper introduction, not a cold application — and you stay in control of what moves forward.
