The role
This company is building the CRM for the AI era. They're focused on real-time infrastructure and an AI-native architecture, with a frontend their engineers genuinely obsess over. Backed by significant Series B funding from leading investors, they're scaling fast and tackling a fundamental shift in how businesses operate.
This isn't a typical Engineering Manager role. You'll lead a focused team of 3-5 engineers, owning a critical product area end-to-end. But the split is 70% hands-on coding, 30% leadership. This is for EMs who want to stay deep in the code, not just manage, and who thrive in a structure built around that belief.
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
- Ship code across the stack (backend in TypeScript/Node.js or Go, or frontend in React) most days.
- Own a critical product area end-to-end, from design to deployment and iteration.
- Recruit, mentor, and develop a focused team of 3-5 engineers.
- Drive architectural evolution for a real-time, AI-native platform as the company scales.
- Translate customer interactions into product decisions, ensuring impact.
What You Bring
- Proven experience leading a small engineering team (3-5 people), while remaining deeply hands-on and capable of owning a feature end-to-end.
- Deep expertise in either modern backend (Go, TypeScript/Node.js, Python, Rust, C++) or frontend (React) system design, with a track record of building secure, scalable, reliable systems.
- Strong command of modern cloud architecture (GCP or AWS), able to articulate and defend technical tradeoffs.
- Ability to influence technical and product decisions across engineering, design, and executive teams without relying on authority.
