About Dex
Dex is an AI recruiter agent that helps you run your job search. Tell Dex your stack, seniority, and what you want to build. We will manage your applications and surface other opportunities that are a fit.
The Role
This company is building the CRM for the AI era. Think real-time infrastructure, AI-native architecture, and a product experience engineers genuinely obsess over. They're growing rapidly, backed by leading investors, and scaling a team of 160 people, with nearly 60 in engineering.
This isn't a typical 90% management EM role. You'll ship code most of the week — a 70% hands-on split — while leading a focused team of 3-5 engineers. You own a critical product area end-to-end, from architecture to customer interaction. This seat is for EMs who lead from inside the code, not from a distance.
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
