Lead Engineer | AI-Native | Node.js
đź’° Up to ÂŁ150k + Equity
🏠4 days a week onsite in London
We’re working with a fast-growing AI startup building an agentic platform that automates real-world operational workflows for an established UK industry.
They’re looking for a Lead Engineer to work closely with the Head of Engineering and take serious ownership across the platform.
This is a builder-first leadership role — you’ll lead a small engineering team, but remain highly hands-on, owning some of the hardest technical problems and helping shape architecture and engineering standards.
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.
Why it’s interesting:
🤖 Genuinely AI-native product — LLMs and agents sit at the heart of the platform
🧠Agentic engineering culture using Claude Code and AI agents day-to-day
🏗️ Real architectural ownership across microservices, APIs, and event-driven systems
đź‘Ą Lead a small team while remaining a key individual contributor
🚀 Early enough to have significant influence over how the platform is built

You’ll suit this if you’re already a Lead Engineer — or a strong Senior ready to step up — and have experience building AI/LLM products in fast-moving startup environments. If you want genuine ownership rather than another layer of process, get in touch.
