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.
What You Will Do
- Write high-quality, production-ready code across the full stack using Next.js, tRPC, React, and Tailwind to build performant, accessible features.
- Own the technical lifecycle of complex projects from discovery through to deployment and monitoring, including PostgreSQL schema design and database migrations.
- Partner with the data team to architect Elasticsearch-driven search and filtering solutions that handle vast datasets with high performance.
The ideal candidate
- Has 7+ years of software engineering experience with at least 2-3 years operating at a Lead, Staff, or Senior-plus level in a SaaS environment.
- Demonstrates deep proficiency in the core stack: React/Tailwind, Node.js/Next.js/tRPC, and databases including both PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch.
- Possesses the right to work in the UK and a genuine preference for hands-on building over directing others in a fast-moving team.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
