About algo1
At algo1, we are reinventing one of the world’s most familiar experiences: the in-store grocery trip. We are building an AI-native product that understands each shopper, responds to their context in real time and makes an everyday experience less stressful, more personal and more engaging.
We’re backed by leading investors and founded by two entrepreneurs: one with a track record of building and scaling companies, and the other a leader in retail data and shopper analytics. Together, they have brought together frontier AI researchers and engineers, product and strategy leaders, and senior operators from major UK and US grocery businesses.
The people who join now will have an opportunity to shape the product, the engineering culture, and what algo1 becomes.
The Role
We’re looking for a Full Stack Engineer with Frontend specialism to work closely with product, design, mobile, and machine learning team members to design & build experiences that re-define how brands and retailers serve their shoppers. You'll help build engaging & intuitive web experiences using highly responsive UI components and real-time data flows.
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.
You will work closely with our Head of B2B Product, James, turning ambitious and sometimes ambiguous product ideas into software that retailers and consumer brands rely on to create, launch, and measure campaigns.
We are looking for people of varying experience levels who are willing to take the lead on delivering features end-to-end. You will have already embraced agentic coding and how it can be used to enhance individual and team productivity.
What You Will Own
- Design and implement reactive, real-time web interfaces that help brands and retailers manage and analyse the in-store experience delivered by our product
- Translate user and business needs into a functional web application that delivers complex, intelligent capabilities through an elegantly simple interface designed for non-technical audiences
- Contribute to API and broader system design & documentation as part of end-to-end delivery of features
