Product Engineer | AI-Native Recruitment | London | £65,000 - £85,000
My client is turning recruitment into something genuinely AI-native. Rather than bolting AI onto an existing process, they're building the technology from first principles: real relationships and deal flow on one side, genuinely powerful AI product on the other, built to work together rather than replace each other.
They're a small, high-leverage team with real commercial traction behind them already, live products, paying customers, and real users generating feedback every day, not a team guessing at a market from the outside. They're now hiring a Product Engineer to help build both the customer-facing product and the internal tooling that makes the team faster.
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.
Quick overview
- Full-stack build: TypeScript, Python or Node, PostgreSQL (stack-agnostic in practice, they rate the engineer over the tooling)
- End-to-end ownership: UI, APIs, integrations, deployment, no ticket queue and no waiting for permission
- Heavily AI-assisted development day to day, using AI coding tools as a genuine multiplier
- Small, senior team, high-agency role: you'll be handed ambiguous, hard problems and trusted to take them to done
- Location: London, hybrid
What we're looking for
- 2+ years building scalable web products, ideally B2B SaaS, marketplaces, workflow tools, or talent tech
- Genuinely AI-native, not just AI-aware, you know when to let it run and when to slow down and think it through yourself
- High-agency and product-minded: you think about the customer, the product and the technology at once, not just the ticket in front of you
- Strong engineer first: real craft, good fundamentals, opinions you're willing to bend when the situation calls for it

Real users already in production, a roadmap where the best ideas can come from anyone on the team, and the rare chance to build a product from its earliest days with the stability of genuine commercial traction underneath it. If building the technology behind a fast-growing, AI-native recruitment business sounds like your kind of problem, I'd like to hear from you.
