About Theodo
Theodo is an engineering & design consultancy with offices in Paris, London, New York, Casablanca, and Cape Town. We build high-quality digital products for clients across industries, and we are increasingly working with enterprise organisations on complex, high-impact tech modernisation programmes - including AI-powered code modernisation. We run lean internally: we care about process, continuous improvement, and doing things properly. Our founders have written books on the best practice for using lean to scale agile in large organisations.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a Graduate Software Engineer to join our engineering team and kick-start their career building real products for our clients. You'll be working with experienced engineers from day one, working across the stack on live projects rather than sandboxed training exercises.
This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who wants to learn fast, take on responsibility quickly, and grow into a well-rounded software engineer.
