If this role isn't quite the right fit, don't worry, I work with a range of venture-backed startups across the UK and US (from Seed to Series C) hiring exceptional engineers. Feel free to connect with me anyway, as I'd be happy to discuss other opportunities that may be a better match. My LinkedIn: Rinesa Gashani
I'm partnering with a fast-growing AI startup that's building software to remove one of the biggest bottlenecks in industries like aerospace, healthcare, and energy, helping complex real-world work move at software speed.
The company has recently raised an oversubscribed multi-million dollar Seed round from top-tier investors and is preparing for its Series A. The team includes former founding engineers and talent from some of the world's leading technology companies, and they're looking for people who thrive in high-ownership, fast-paced environments.
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.
