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'll bring:
- Experience leading or mentoring engineers
- 5+ years' experience with Node/TypeScript plus Go
- Solid experience with MySQL (similar relational databases considered)
- Experience using AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or GitHub Copilot in your daily work, the judgement to know when their output needs a closer look, and the confidence to help other engineers get the most from them
- Hands-on experience deploying to a cloud platform and managing infrastructure with Terraform
- Experience running applications in containers using Docker or Kubernetes
