You can work on a developer-first platform at the centre of modern software delivery. You can build the next generation of software supply chain trust and provenance infrastructure.
You will build systems that give organisations complete traceability from source code to deployed artifact. It's not just where an artifact came from, but how it was built, what went into it, and where it was used downstream.
You will build infrastructure that captures, validates, and exposes build provenance and attestation data across CI/CD pipelines and artifact ecosystems.
This role offers significant greenfield engineering work, giving you the opportunity to shape how supply chain security and artifact traceability systems are designed from the ground up.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
