About the Role
We are looking for a product engineer who leads with customers. Half your week is with publishers and brands; the other half is shipping what they need.
You’ll own everything our customers touch: our platform dashboards, onboarding, reporting, and the loop that turns customer feedback into product. You’ll decide what gets built there, and you’ll build much of it yourself, working agentic-first.
You’ll work closely with our CTO and a Founding Software Engineer, who own the infrastructure, data pipelines and AI side of our product. Knowing what customers need most, and making our product feel exceptional, is what we’re hiring for.
Our structure is intentionally flat, with influence earned through skill & context. Our codebase is shared rather than siloed, and we move fluidly across priorities as a team. We have dozens of agents working alongside us every day, so we go from customer feedback to a shipped change in hours, and learn from it just as quickly. It’s how a small team builds at the pace of one ten times our size.
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.
Requirements
You’ve built and shipped software yourself, as an engineer, a design engineer or a founder, and moved towards product because what got built mattered most to you.
You care deeply about the end user’s experience. You have a genuine eye for design & product, noticing if padding is off or there are one too many steps in a flow.
You’re commercially minded, thinking about what moves revenue rather than what’s interesting to build, with real ease in customer conversations.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You come out of a customer call knowing what they need, not just what they asked for.
You’re comfortable in a small, high-trust team, happy to pick up whatever is needed.
Minimum Experience:
- 5+ years building and shipping software products, in engineering, design engineering, product or as a founder.
- You’ve shipped production UI yourself. Not designed it for someone else to build.
- You work agentic-first. Prototypes, specs and UI changes go from idea to merged code without waiting on an engineer.
Benefits
- Early stage equity
- Competitive salary
