Lead Python Engineer

Senior/Lead Python Engineer (Agentic Systems Focus)

A Senior/Lead-Level Python Engineer with deep expertise in agentic engineering is needed for a cutting-edge commercial platform. You’ll tackle real-world challenges by building and optimising Python services, crafting AI-native features, and integrating seamlessly with PHP/Laravel components—all while shipping impactful work on a high-scale system.


The Role

Your mission: ✅ Embed into a UK-leading procurement platform for construction projects—linking organisations and suppliers via a high-traffic, high-stakes system. ✅ Deliver Python services and agentic features that drive core product functionality. 🔹 Numerous engineering challenges await at every layer of the stack—serverless, cloud-native (Azure-focused), and reliability-critical. ✅ Pull double-duty as a Full-Stack engineer—ready to riff on React.js when needed and dive into Laravel for API integrations. ✅ Clarity without red-tape: You won’t dictate strategy, but you will ship high-impact work with autonomy and ownership.

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.

What We’re Looking For

Essential Experience

  • Senior/Lead Python proficiency in production environments—debug, architect, and optimise complex systems.
  • Agentic engineering as a professional toolset—not just experimental, but a daily driver to accelerate deliverables and improve quality.
  • Cloud-native expertise, predominantly on Microsoft Azure (build/deploy serverless, Kubernetes, or otherwise scalable systems).
  • Full-Stack fluency—practical understanding of React.js and capability to navigate Laravel/PHP for integrations.
  • Production operator mindset—ready to fix issues before docs get written, own deployments, and collaborate cross-functionally.

** Nice-to-Haves**

  • Prior experience in communication/logistics platforms or procurement tech.
  • Strong sense of infrastructure as code (IaC) and observability tools.

What We Offer

The Work

  • Real impact: Work on a hardworking, live platform with genuine scale—collaborate with team members who treat craftsmanship seriously.
  • Ownership + perspective: Your seniority matters; shape processes and refine how work gets done.
  • Daily agentic systems engineering—transform how you build and iterate, not robotic buzzword compliance.
