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
- Build and deploy decoy tripwires using C# on.NET Core 10, Terraform, and HTMX to detect advanced cloud intrusions.
- Collaborate directly with the CTO and Engineering Lead to ship customer-facing features daily with minimal bureaucracy or process.
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools like Claude and Codex to accelerate your engineering output and solve complex architectural challenges.
The ideal candidate
- Strong academic foundation with a degree in a STEM subject like Computer Science or Physics and a track record of excellence.
- Proven ability to write clean, correct code in a known language with a deep curiosity for how systems function.
- Demonstrated passion for building through side projects, open-source contributions, or hackathons, showing a clear bias for action and delivery.

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.
