About Us

We’re a VC-backed stealth-mode company building behavioural AI solutions for the retail industry. Our platform is designed from the ground up — no legacy, no patchwork systems — just a clean slate and a clear vision. Our mission is to bring the intelligence of modern machine learning directly to the in-store experience, powering real-time, context-aware interactions in physical retail environments through beautifully engineered mobile experiences.

Role

We're looking for an Android Engineer to help with the development of a cutting-edge consumer facing app designed to change the physical in-store shopping experience. You’ll collaborate closely with our team of ML & backend engineers and product to deliver a mobile experience that feels fast, personalised, and deeply responsive to user context.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
