The role
This company is building the next generation of CRM, natively designed for the AI era. They're rethinking core infrastructure and user experience from the ground up, not bolting AI onto legacy systems. Backed by leading investors with significant Series B funding, they're a rapidly scaling team of over 150, with a substantial engineering org obsessed with craft.
This isn't a typical Engineering Manager role. You'll spend 70% of your time hands-on, shipping code and owning critical product areas end-to-end. The remaining 30% is dedicated to leading a focused team of 3-5 engineers. This role is for EMs who lead best from inside the code, not from a distance. It's structured for impact, not just oversight.
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 work
- Own a critical product area end-to-end, contributing across the stack in either backend (TypeScript/Node.js, Go) or frontend (React).
- Design and evolve scalable, reliable architecture for a rapidly growing, real-time platform.
- Recruit, mentor, and develop a small, high-performing engineering team.
- Drive product decisions, deeply informed by customer interactions and technical feasibility.

What You Bring
- Proven experience as an Engineering Manager, leading a small team while remaining deeply hands-on with code.
- Deep expertise in either modern backend systems (Go, TypeScript/Node.js, Python, Rust, C++ or similar) or frontend (React), with a track record of designing secure, scalable systems.
- Strong understanding of modern cloud architecture (GCP or AWS) and the ability to articulate technical tradeoffs.
- The ability to communicate complex technical ideas clearly to diverse audiences, influencing decisions through expertise, not just authority.
