Join a fast-growing international trading business that partners with global luxury fashion brands, where every feature you ship directly impacts company operations and revenue. This is an opportunity to own business-critical software within a small, profitable B2B company that values in-house development as a strategic function and fosters a low-ego, collaborative environment.
The Role
- Design, build, and maintain backend-heavy features for internal systems supporting operations, reporting, analytics, and a B2B customer portal
- Collaborate closely with the Head of Development on solution design, architecture, and technical direction
- Write clean, testable, SOLID-compliant PHP code using Symfony, with strong unit and functional test coverage
- Contribute to and improve shared standards, code reviews, CI, and deployment practices, including the use of AI tools
- Work with business users to understand requirements, refine ideas, and develop pragmatic, maintainable solutions
- Help evolve the platform and infrastructure using technologies like PostgreSQL, Clickhouse, Vue.js, AWS, and Docker
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.

- Comfort working with a modern JavaScript framework like Vue or React in a full-stack workflow
