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
- Take full ownership of the technical architecture and end-to-end product development, evolving the existing MVP into a robust, scalable platform.
- Recruit, lead, and mentor a world-class engineering team as the company scales following its upcoming September funding round.
- Drive the technical roadmap and collaborate closely with co-founders to align product features with the needs of high-profile creators and global brands.
The ideal candidate
- Holds a strong Computer Science degree from a top-tier institution like Imperial, Oxford, Cambridge, or an equivalent global university.
- Proven experience shipping production systems at scale, ideally having led zero-to-one initiatives at big tech firms like Google or high-growth startups.
- Possesses the entrepreneurial drive to build from zero, comfortable operating with autonomy in a pre-raise environment for meaningful long-term ownership.

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.
