Company Description
An enterprise client is seeking a highly skilled Full Stack Engineer for a high-velocity contract engagement. In this role, you will be responsible for building and deploying a modern, AI-integrated application hosted entirely on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You will own the end-to-end development cycle, bridging a responsive React/TypeScript frontend with a high-performance Python/FastAPI backend. A core component of this project involves integrating Google's Vertex AI (Gemini models) to drive intelligent data extraction and risk assessment features.
Job Description
- Frontend Development: Design and build robust, highly responsive user interfaces using React and TypeScript.
- Backend & API Development: Architect and develop scalable backend services and RESTful APIs using Python and the FastAPI framework.
- Cloud-Native Deployment: Containerize and deploy frontend and backend services utilizing serverless GCP Cloud Run.
- Data Pipelining: Design, deploy, and manage asynchronous data processing pipelines using Cloud Run Jobs.
- AI/ML Integration: Connect the application to Google's foundation models (Gemini) via Vertex AI to execute complex data extraction and automated risk assessments.
- Database Management: Utilize Firestore for real-time application state management and metadata storage, while integrating BigQuery for heavy data warehousing and analytics workloads.
- Security & Authentication: Implement enterprise-grade Single Sign-On (SSO) by configuring Google's Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP) and integrating it with Microsoft Entra ID.
- DevOps & CI/CD: Maintain and optimize deployment workflows using Azure DevOps to ensure seamless CI/CD pipelines into the GCP environment.
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.
