Forward-deployed engineering is either the best job in an AI company or the worst, depending entirely on how the company treats it. Done right, it's a first-class engineering seat where you own outcomes inside hospitals, banks and Fortune 100s, and what you learn on the ground shapes the core product. We work closely with the AI companies deploying into exactly these environments, and we know which ones do it right.
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 opportunities
Compensation at these companies can reach $250k+ in the US and £200k+ in London, plus equity. You'd sit where the product meets the customer, turning ambiguous, high-stakes problems into systems that ship and hold up. It's engineering with the outcome attached — your name is on whether it works.
You could work on
- Owning proof-of-concept through to production inside customer environments
- Turning ambiguous customer needs into shipped technical solutions
- Working hands-on across the stack, directly alongside customers
- Feeding what you learn in the field back into the core product
