Build the engineering team, not just run one.
An early-stage AI company is rebuilding how businesses do their accounting. It has a working product and has customers using it. Now it needs its first proper engineering leader.
This isn't a role where you inherit 40 engineers and a Jira backlog. You'll set the architecture, choose how the team works, make the first senior hires and still write code when it matters. Whatever you build here is what the company scales on.
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 own

Who it suits

- You want equity that means something and a seat at the table
- Fintech or accounting experience is a bonus, not a must
