Founding Engineer Full Stack Python React

Founding Engineer (Full Stack Python React) Cambridge to £80k

Are you a bright, ambitious Software Engineer with start-up experience who enjoys taking ownership and working with a range of technology across the full stack?

You could be progressing your career in an impactful role at a growing "Tech for Good" start-up that is using AI technology to ensure facilities compliance and efficiencies within the NHS and Health sector, with plans to expand to other regulated industries.

As a Founding Engineer you'll work closely with the founders and a small technology team to design and develop scalable end-to-end solutions working across the full software development lifecycle through to CI/CD and deployment to Azure. You'll be mainly working with Python and TypeScript, collaboratively problem solving and promoting best practices.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
