Who You Are
Don’t worry if you haven’t worked with our technologies before - we value strong fundamentals and curiosity over specific tools. If you’ve worked with languages like JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, or Rust, you’ll be able to pick things up quickly. Recent graduate in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Strong interest in coding and solving technical problems. Curiosity about how software systems work behind the scenes. Experience with programming through university projects, internships, or personal projects. Willingness to learn new technologies quickly. Team spirit, creativity, and ambition to grow as an engineer.
You don’t need extensive industry experience - we’re looking for smart, curious engineers who want to learn fast and build meaningful systems.
What The Job Involves
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.
