Up to £140,000
London
This is a unique opportunity to join a well-funded AI startup at a pivotal stage of growth. You'll become one of the earliest engineering hires, taking ownership of a cutting-edge AI platform and helping shape the future direction of both the product and engineering function as the business scales.
The Company
Our client is an early-stage AI business backed by significant investment and focused on helping enterprise organisations better understand customer behaviour through advanced AI technologies. With several large financial services organisations already engaged, the business is now moving from Proof of Concept into commercial deployment and is looking for an experienced engineer to help build and scale the platform.
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.

- Take significant ownership of architecture, delivery and platform evolution
- Help shape the future engineering function as the company grows
Your Skills and Experience
