numi partners with a fast-growing, founder-led AI startup building autonomous agents for some of the world's largest engineering and infrastructure enterprises, to find their next Forward Deployed Engineer.
This is a rare seat at the sharp end of a genuine first-mover product. It's a ~15-person, profitable, founder-owned business that has spent the last year pivoting from tooling into a full agentic platform, is already live with major enterprise pilots showing strong retention, and is joining at a pivotal moment as it scales fast.
You'll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with the founder and the company's biggest customers, translating what enterprise clients actually need into what gets built, then owning that build end-to-end. When something breaks, you're the one at the table with the client, fixing it.
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.
What we need:
- A computer science degree, or an equally strong, hands-on CS background. This one is non-negotiable.
- Serious, demonstrable coding ability: this is a builder role first, so pure research or data-science-only profiles won't be the right fit.
- Forward Deployed / Applied AI pedigree, ideally from a frontier AI company.
- Startup instincts over pure enterprise polish, comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast.
- The confidence to challenge a founder productively inside a direct, high-ownership culture.

Package:
- Base salary is not capped for the right person, think significant six figures (up to circa £250k for a standout profile).
- Plus meaningful early equity, joining ahead of a real inflection point for the business.
Location:
- London, office-based.
