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 they're looking for
- Strong experience in Java, Go or C++ building distributed, scalable systems
- Roughly 2 - 7 years shipping and maintaining highly optimised code
- Python, high-concurrency systems, low-latency or high-transaction environments, relational databases - all useful, none essential
- CS, Computer Engineering or equivalent background
- Communication skills that hold up in technical debate
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Worth knowing
- Flat hierarchy, meritocratic, fast-paced
- No finance knowledge expected - they teach it
- 26 days annual leave, private health/dental/optical, income protection, pension, gym subsidy, catered lunch daily
This suits an engineer who wants ownership early, likes performance-critical problems, and would rather learn the market from the inside than sit in a large corporate engineering function.
If that sounds like your kind of environment, feel free to apply with your latest CV.
