Software Engineer – Rust / Systems
We're working with one of the most exciting early-stage technology companies operating at the intersection of sports, data and trading. They are building technology for the US sports betting market, working with some of the biggest names in the industry and processing significant volumes of real-time data and transactions.
The engineering team is small, highly technical and growing quickly. They've already attracted engineers from companies including Meta and Google, and they're looking for exceptional engineers who want genuine ownership and the opportunity to have a major impact.
The Role
You'll join a small engineering team working on a technically challenging product where performance, reliability and low latency matter.
Rust is the current language of choice, but you don't need prior Rust experience. They're much more interested in finding outstanding engineers who are strong technically, think clearly and can pick up new technologies quickly.
You'll have a high level of autonomy and will be involved in building core systems across areas including:
- High-performance, low-latency systems
- Real-time sports data and analytics
- Trading and execution infrastructure
- Integrations with major US betting platforms
- In-game betting and real-time wagering products
- New product development and expansion into new geographies
- Building out new AI and modelling capabilities
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.
There's a lot of greenfield work ahead, with the team already working against a clear 6-month roadmap and ambitious plans beyond that.
What They're Looking For
They're looking for the best engineers they can find, rather than hiring against a rigid checklist.
You could be working in Rust, C++, Java, Go, Python or another strong technical language. What matters is that you have:
- Strong software engineering fundamentals
- Experience building and owning production systems
- The ability to work through complex technical problems independently
- A genuine interest in building great products
- The curiosity to learn new technologies quickly
Experience with Rust, low-latency systems, trading, data or sports would be useful, but isn't essential.
Why Join?
This is an opportunity to join a company while the engineering team is still small enough for individual engineers to have a huge amount of influence.

They're now hiring aggressively as they build out the next stage of the team.
What you can expect:
- £100k–£120k+ base salary, depending on experience
