Our Challenge
How do you ship high-impact new features, scale an enterprise platform during rapid growth, and build a resilient team where domain knowledge is widely shared? We’re looking for an intellectually curious junior engineer to dive in and help us tackle these problems. You won't just be handed isolated features to write in a silo - you’ll work across the entire stack, collaborating on everything from user-facing front-end experiences to the back-end services that power them.
About Neurosight
We stand at the intersection of neuroscience, psychometric testing, and business psychology. We're redefining what's possible through radical innovations in online behavioural and cognitive assessment - partnering with leading employers to deliver transformative hiring outcomes.
Following three years of rigorous R&D, we commercially launched in a phase of rapid growth, and our technology is the engine driving that momentum.
Our Journey and Context
We have recently undergone a significant technical transformation. As our client base expands, our focus is shifting toward three core engineering pillars:
- Enterprise-grade robustness: Maintaining and scaling our core architecture and cloud infrastructure to ensure the high reliability, security, and data integrity.
- Seamless integrations: Ensuring our corporate partners can connect their systems into our platform easily, securely, and with minimal friction.
- Internal automation and analytical tools: Creating and improving internal tools and dashboards that automate manual processes for our non-technical staff, helping the whole business operate efficiently.
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.
Because we are a small team, you will get to work across all of these areas. As you ramp up and demonstrate your capabilities, you’ll have the opportunity to grow into owning specific areas of the software and leading key projects. And because this role will occasionally be client-facing, you will have the unique opportunity to see the direct impact of your development work on our enterprise partners.
The learning curve is steep - but it comes with a safety net. You’ll have direct mentorship and clear architectural guidance, so you can grow quickly without ever being left to struggle in isolation.
Our Tech Stack
- Application: Full-stack TypeScript (NestJS Backend and React Frontend)
- Data: PostgreSQL, Azure Table Storage, & Redis
- Infrastructure: Azure & Terraform
