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.

- Design, develop and maintain backend services.
- Translate requirements into maintainable, well-tested code.
- Integrate services with supporting systems and data stores.
- Contribute to automated testing, code reviews and reliable releases.
- Work with engineers and delivery specialists to resolve technical problems.
- Share knowledge and contribute positively to the team’s technical direction.

Strong backend Java and Spring Boot development experience, with a collaborative approach to software delivery.
