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.

- Python systems engineering with experience building APIs (FastAPI/Flask) and deploying on AWS (ECS/EKS, Lambda, Bedrock, Docker)
- Experience building generative AI applications (LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI or similar)
- Validated production experience with RAG, agent, and MCP-based systems, including AgentOps (CI/CD, monitoring, optimisation)
- Applied, pragmatic “builder/hacker” mindset with rapid iteration (idea → POC → production)

- Experience with M365 Copilot / Copilot Studio, plugins, and skills
