About the Company
This company builds a critical logistics middle-layer for armed forces. Their software tracks inventory, flags supply gaps, and optimises tactical routes, collapsing an 84-hour ammunition-order cycle into the 16-hour window where battles are decided. They're backed by leading investors and solving problems where the competition is literally pen-and-paper.
The Role Description
You'll own the backend infrastructure that makes this possible: data processing, network optimisations under battlefield constraints, and classical ML pipelines. This isn't chasing state-of-the-art deep learning; it's about robust, battle-proven traditional ML running on constrained, on-prem hardware. Expect high ownership and ambiguous requirements as the first defence contracts land.
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.
Responsibilities
- Own backend infrastructure for a logistics middle-layer, integrating with NATO command-and-control systems.
- Design and implement data processing and signal pipelines for intelligence feeds (drone observations, C2 inputs).
- Optimise network performance and routing decisions under severe environmental and adversarial constraints.
- Develop and deploy classical ML models that distil intelligence into tactical supply-routing decisions.
- Work with constrained on-prem hardware (16-20 CPUs, 64GB RAM per server), focusing on efficiency and reliability.
Requirements
- 2-5 years building production software, with a solid stint in platform or infrastructure engineering.
- Experience with classical/traditional ML (signal pipelines, linear models) or a genuine desire to lean into this style on constrained hardware, rather than deep-learning hype.
- T-shaped: comfortable navigating business context, technical detail, and ambiguity with multiple concurrent priorities.
- Background in defence, finance/hedge funds (building signal pipelines), or work requiring security clearance.
- NATO citizenship is a hard requirement for this role.
