Rotageek started as a small side project when our CEO, an A&E doctor, wanted to improve scheduling in his hospital department. Today, we’re reinventing how employees are scheduled by helping organisations ditch manual paper and spreadsheet-based methods in favour of sleek, intelligent, and interactive digital rotas. Our unique approach to workforce management helps employees improve their work-life balance by giving them more ownership over their hours while decreasing operational costs and simplifying processes for their employers. We use intelligent technology to ensure the right staff are available to meet complex demand considerations through rotas which are simple to create, modify, and distribute.
The Role
Our Engineering Managers at Rotageek are responsible for leading high-performing engineering teams that deliver reliable, scalable, and maintainable software aligned with business goals. This is a hybrid role that combines people leadership with hands-on technical contribution.
You will be a technically credible leader who actively supports your teams through coaching, decision-making, and practical involvement in delivery, while also creating the conditions for individuals and teams to thrive.
This role also has a strong customer-facing and consultative dimension. As well as leading core product delivery, you will work directly with customers and internal stakeholders to shape, plan, and deliver customer-specific workstreams that sit alongside the product roadmap.
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.
