What you’ll be doing:
- Build and deploy AI agents into real customer environments
- Translate business workflows into agent logic, actions and integrations

- Write hands-on integration/glue code and prototypes
- Debug and improve live AI agents in production
- Lead technical working sessions with enterprise customers
- Work closely with Product and Engineering to improve the platform
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 they’re looking for:
- Around 5–8 years’ experience in Forward Deployed Engineering, Applied AI, technical consulting or a similar hands-on role
- Experience shipping AI/agentic systems into production
- Strong knowledge of LLMs, MCP, APIs, agent frameworks, prompt engineering and evals
- Coding ability across Python, JavaScript, SQL and APIs
- Strong customer-facing and stakeholder-management skills
- Ideally experience within a venture-backed startup/scale-up
- Must be UK-based or willing to relocate to the UK
- Comfortable travelling to customer sites across the UK/EU during active deployments
