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
- Architect and own the "backend of the frontend," including complex state management (Zustand), SSR/CSR strategies, and real-time streaming via WebSockets.
- Develop and maintain a high-performance design system and testing infrastructure (unit, integration, and e2e) to support rapid, large-scale consumer deployments.
- Collaborate directly with the CTO to shape the technical direction of the product and integrate sophisticated AI-driven audio features into the UI.
The ideal candidate
- Approximately 5 years of professional frontend experience with deep expertise in TypeScript, React, and modern state management libraries.
- Proven "Startup DNA" with experience as a founding engineer or early employee at a fast-growing consumer brand with high engineering standards.
- Ability to thrive in an intense, in-office London environment, working a 6-day week to build a category-defining creative tool.

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.
