What You Will Do
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.
- Architect and ship the MVP with fintech-grade security, auditability, and distributed service boundaries.
- Lead the integration of MT4/MT5-style broker platforms into a stable, production-ready environment.
- Hire, train, and mentor a high-performing engineering team while establishing rigorous delivery standards.
The ideal candidate
- Senior leadership experience in early-stage startups with a focus on distributed microservices and real-time systems.
- Deep expertise in at least two domains: broker integrations, attribution/tracking systems, or production LLM orchestration.
- Strong business mindset with a track record of measuring technical success through revenue impact and shipped outcomes.

How does this work?
Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.
Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network.
If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.
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.
