Why this role is remarkable

- Build sophisticated people recommendation systems using social graph modeling and affinity analysis to spark millions of new friendships and connections.

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.
The ideal candidate
- Proven experience shipping recommendation, ranking, or search systems at scale within a high-growth consumer social or music streaming environment.
- Deep technical proficiency in Python and the modern ML stack, with the ability to build and maintain your own data and serving infrastructure.
- A pragmatic, shipping-focused mindset that prioritizes iterative improvement and rigorous A/B testing over theoretical polishing in a vacuum.

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.
