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 You Will Do
- Develop and scale the backbone of a core audit product, replacing manual checklists with a fully agentic, real-time approach.
- Take complete ownership of end-to-end AI workflows, including data processing, model fine-tuning, evaluation, and production deployment.
- Collaborate directly with the founding team to set the product roadmap, balancing customer feedback with long-term technical health.
The ideal candidate
- Proven track record of shipping complex products end-to-end as a founding or early engineer at a high-growth startup.
- Pragmatic builder with experience launching agentic systems and LLMs in production, prioritizing proven methods to achieve immediate customer impact.
- High-agency individual who thrives in ambiguity, flourishes with autonomy, and has the long-term ambition to found their own company.

And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.
How does this work?
Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.
Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network.
If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.
We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
