Full Stack TypeScript Developer | Contract | Immediate Start | 8 weeks | Remote
You'll be joining a small, experienced team to build something genuinely new from scratch. A real product, for real users, with a hard launch date. If you're the kind of developer who gets energy from shipping rather than deliberating, keep reading.
What You'll Be Working On
- You'll be building a coach booking service for a public sector transport authority, including a promotional website, a passenger booking app with seat selection and payments, and a driver manifest app.
- You'll see the whole thing go from nothing to live in eight weeks, with the first bus running on 6th September.
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'll Get From This
- You'll work directly under an experienced lead developer who will give you clear direction and room to do good work.
- You'll get genuine greenfield experience across a modern, well-considered stack.
- You'll ship something real, on a deadline that matters, for an end user who will actually use it.
- And you'll do it without layers of process getting in the way.
Your tech stack
- Astro + React across all three apps (don't worry if you haven't used Astro before, you'll pick it up fast)
- TypeScript throughout, full stack
- NestJS for the API and business logic layer
- Firebase (Hosting, Firestore, Authentication, serverless functions, real-time listeners)
- Stripe for payments
- SendGrid for email and SMS
- PrimeReact for rapid UI delivery
- Monorepo structure for shared code and components
