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
- Plan, design, and iterate on complex software solutions for electronic design automation, working across the entire backend including data models, algorithms, and APIs.
- Collaborate closely with in-house hardware engineers and product teams to translate complex engineering constraints into elegant, high-quality software architectures using Python and Django.
- Drive engineering excellence by co-designing and peer-reviewing work with other lead developers, ensuring the codebase remains robust as you scale the engine’s capabilities.
The ideal candidate
- Possesses at least 5 years of professional software development experience, including 2+ years of deep expertise in Python and 2+ years in senior roles.
- Demonstrates a proven track record of building complex systems beyond standard web applications, such as data pipelines, scientific computing, or algorithmic software.
- Thrives in agile environments and communicates effectively while solving ambiguous technical problems that bridge the gap between software engineering and physical hardware.

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.
