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 Will Do
- Partner directly with the Head of Product and Head of AI to define, architect, and execute the core technical roadmap for the Glot platform.
- Scale the engineering architecture from an early-stage prototype to a high-performance system capable of processing real-time audio and complex translations.
- Maintain a hands-on presence across the full stack, integrating AI models with robust backend infrastructure and intuitive frontend experiences as the product grows.
The ideal candidate
- Proven experience shipping impactful products and scaling technical architectures from initial concepts to robust platforms used by significant user bases.
- Deep full-stack proficiency with specific interest or experience in real-time audio processing, low-latency systems, or building developer-facing API platforms.
- A curious, first-principles thinker who enjoys navigating ambiguous problems and building simple, modular systems that can evolve without creating technical debt.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role.
