We believe no one should be a stranger just because they speak a different language.
Imagine two people, no shared language, talking as easily as old friends. That's exactly what we are building: real-time translation for real-world conversations.
It sounds like it should already exist. It doesn't. ✨🌍
We're a small, well-funded team in the heart of London, backed by people who built the tech already in your pocket, and we're right at the start. No one has built this before, including us, and that's the best part. 🚀
How We Think and Build
- Make the Complex Simple: We work on difficult problems, but complexity is not a sign of sophistication. The best solution is usually the one that removes complexity while preserving what matters.
- Think Before You Build: We value speed, but not reflex. Before acting, we define the problem, question the assumptions and understand the trade-offs. Then we commit and execute decisively.
- Build Systems, Not Patches: We design code, products and company processes as clear, independent modules. Each part should have a defined purpose and clean boundaries, so it can evolve without making the wider system harder to understand.
You will fit in here if you think from first principles, care about the quality of your reasoning and enjoy turning complicated problems into simple, durable systems.
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.
The role
You'll work closely with our Head of Product and Head of AI. You'll be expected to be comfortable across the full stack - AI, backend and frontend - and move between them as the product demands. We're a small team, so versatility matters more than specialisation right now.
What we're looking for
- You’ve shipped impactful products before.
- You don't mind flying solo and getting your hands dirty early on, but you know exactly how to scale an architecture to a team as we grow.
- You’re sharp, curious, and energized by complex, ambiguous problems rather than comfortable, predictable ones.
- Experience building real-time audio or developer-facing API platforms is a massive plus.
Compensation
- Salary: a competitive salary, benchmarked to the role and your experience. We're happy to discuss specifics early on.
- Pension: workplace pension with employer contributions.
What you'll get
- 🏆 Recognition and rewards for great work.
- 🗓️ All the boring stuff everywhere else provides - 25 days off, pension, the lot.
- 🏙️ Amazing London offices: two spaces, one floor, 360° views across London. One side is built for collaboration and energy (small talk encouraged). The other is quiet, calm - a low-distraction focus space, always there when you need it.
- 🍱 A fully stocked fridge, a proper lounge, and a team that genuinely likes spending time together. Food is taken seriously here.
- 🎛️ You shape your own environment. Lighting, a desk away from the noise, headphones, a setup that works for you. Just ask.
- ⏱️ Flexible hours around a small set of shared core hours, plus focus time we actually protect, so you can work when you think best.
- 🚀 Ownership and autonomy. If you want to deploy a solution, you don't need five meetings. You just do it.
- 🧭 A clear first-month plan and someone you can ask anything, so you're never left guessing what's expected.
- 🤝 A team that takes the mission seriously, but not itself - we love socials, passion, and building something we believe in.
- ✨ Benefits are still being shaped - tell us what would make a real difference to your quality of life, and we'll consider it. We mean that.
