Principal / Staff / Engineering Lead
Remote, UK | Up to £130,000
A growing technology consultancy is looking for Principal Engineers to join their team on a permanent basis. You'll work across a varied client portfolio — financial services, energy, media and more — owning technical outcomes on complex, high-stakes programmes.
This is not a senior-to-lead progression role. We need people who are already operating at Staff or Principal level, or who've been hands-on CTOs or VPs still writing production code. You set technical direction, make architectural decisions, and earn trust fast in new environments.
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 you'll bring:
- Distributed systems, cloud-native architecture, and knowing when to keep it simple
- AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, and IaC as standard
- Strong backend depth —.NET, Java, Python, TypeScript (language-agnostic mindset matters more than the list)
- Experience leading technical work across teams, not just contributing to it
- The ability to context-switch across clients and domains

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Frontend-heavy or web-dev-focused backgrounds won't be a fit here. We need engineers who lean into systems, infrastructure, and hard backend problems.
