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.
This is a genuinely hands-on, high-ownership position working directly alongside the CTO, building the backend infrastructure behind the product and taking features all the way from idea to production.
What we’re looking for:
- 🔹 5+ years building production backend systems
- 🔹 Excellent Python & Django / DRF experience
- 🔹 Strong SQL and PostgreSQL knowledge
- 🔹 Experience with background processing, ideally Celery
- 🔹 Hands-on experience with LLMs or AI infrastructure
- 🔹 Cloud-native production experience, ideally GCP
- 🔹 Exposure to RAG, agent-based systems or orchestration is a big plus
- 🔹 Someone who enjoys ownership, solving difficult engineering problems and shipping

This isn't one for someone looking to disappear into a huge engineering organisation. It’s a small, senior founding team where you’ll be close to the CTO, close to the product and have genuine influence over the technical direction as the company scales.
If you’re a seriously good Python/Django engineer who wants to build at the sharp end of applied AI, drop me a message for a confidential chat.
