š Hi, Iām Sina, CTO at Nous. Iāve spent my entire career in startups, starting my first company when I was a teenager, and navigated many 0ā1 journeys (including starting the largest social network of its time in my home country). A pattern throughout my life is that I love finding and solving complexity that wastes peopleās time or money. Nous aims to do exactly that. From a product and technology perspective, I believe there is so much we could build to not only empower households to not get ripped off, but also to take away more and more complexity out of their lives. If this problem space resonates, please read on. PS: Iāve actually written this page with my hands; this is not AI-written content!
About Nous
Roughly 90% of UK households are overpaying on their bills. Nous is an agent to absorb complexity out of households, saving them money and time. Our mission is to make peopleās lives simpler and fairer, starting with the 30 million households here in the UK, and soon far beyond.
Nous is growing fast, itās working. 20x YoY growth makes us one of the fastest scaling startups in the UK. NPS of +70 (higher than Apple) shows that users love it.
And weāve just launched two novel new products (on top of our current service lines). Insurance: weāre the first to get the regulatory approval and build the tech to actually do the full insurance discovery and purchase journey as an agent for the user (not just give them a link to the best deal). Subscription management: lots of companies use open banking to draw pretty graphs - weāre the first to use it to actively save people money starting by cancelling unwanted subscriptions for them.
It would be easy to look at this and think weāve got it all figured out.
But our ambitions are SO much higher; weāve only scratched the surface. Weāve started with bills because āchange begins at homeā - itās a naturally low-interest, messy area of our lives which most of us donāt want to think about. Similar to how Amazon started with books as their first category to go after.
What weāre building is an agent to take some of the load of life, make good decisions and act for us in areas we canāt or donāt want to act on our own. āTalk is cheap. Action is what really mattersā. For an agent, advice is cheap. Action is the product. And action means solving problems in the messy real world.
There are so many interesting problems we are in the infancy of solving. Just as an example - userās trust us with their Open Banking data - but itās just lists of transactions. How can we use that stream of information and combine it with all the other data we have, to reduce friction from their lives?
A note on product
Thereās āproductā as in the web application that guides our users through the complex world of bills and household admin and acts as their interface to our management service, as well as all the behind the scenes capabilities needed to orchestrate and deliver that service - actually saving our users money and time. Try it here: app.nous.co/signup (itās free!)
Then thereās āproductā as experienced by our users - which is a service which makes life simple and fair. To deliver this weāve built a set of powerful capabilities that let us run and improve the service efficiently at scale: agentic communication, multimodal data extraction, orchestration for long-running operational processes, recommendations, our own agentic harness, and more. We compose these into executable workflows that deliver real outcomes for members, like switching someone to a better energy deal without the hassle.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Iām in my final year doing Economics and I donāt know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer ā it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) donāt need a masters. Letās look at the ones youād 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 ā that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Today, we help manage six areas of household spending: Energy, Mobile, Broadband, Mortgage, Personal finances (e.g., managing subscriptions), and Insurance. But weāre just getting started. Behind the scenes, weāve built the technology (we call it Blueprints) that acts as rails for us to quickly expand on the breadth and depth of our service lines.
The role
We need your help building a world-class product that will be used regularly by millions of people; and figuring out, together, what it really takes to absorb household complexity.
As a product engineer, we empower you with context to enable fast iterations, end-to-end ownership and lots of agency. Youāll be a hands-on technical leader on some of the highest-leverage areas of our codebase, from building out agentic capabilities to scaling our service logic.
Some examples:
- Anton led and shipped an entire product line around open banking and subscription management three months after joining. Yes, he had support from legal, design, commercial and his team (we even became FCA registered). But one product engineer still took it from idea to a best-in-class product in the category.
- Ed led the our latest Blueprint architecture, which now powers every service line. Changes to complex, long-running workflows that once took weeks can now sometimes take minutes. All safely, reliably and with full type safety.
- Tim led and shipped our car insurance product line, in less than 3 months. We built a journey where an agent performs the discovery and purchase journeys - something that's not been done before and needed problem solving at the intersection of engineering, product and regulatory.
As a team, we built our own agentic harness (we call it super-engineer); itās enabled us to build faster, investigate complex cross-system issues effectively; and it self-improves.
Every week, weāre building tools for ourselves and evolving how we work, to make ourselves more effective. I strongly believe in the value of compounding gains, and much of our focus goes into investing in what results in exponential growth.
Although our stack is constantly evolving (and you can help shape that), hereās a current snapshot:
- Full-stack TypeScript, React, Postgres, and Temporal for long-running orchestration.
- Infra: AWS, Terraform, strong observability via Sentry and Datadog (full-stack, not just logs).
- Data: we lean heavily on Snowflake, Omni, dbt, Fivetran, Amplitude and Segment ā and weāve even built some of our own tooling to understand how well weāre helping our members.
- And we use Github, Linear, Graphite, and Blacksmith every day. We choose the best tool for the job, and donāt obsess around specific technologies.
- We also heavily rely on our wide range of agentic and tooling harness that we build and iterate on across the team. Theyāre part of the āsecretā behind how we move fast, reliably.


Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Youāll report directly to the CTO (and weāll work closely), so will be in the room for key architectural and product decisions. Weāre deliberately light on layers of management: exceptional individual contributors shape direction by solving hard problems.
We organise around small product squads (around 5ā7 people) with a single shared objective; and ship and learn fast.
You'll build in two modes
This is the bit that makes the role different, so it's worth being clear about.
Sometimes you build the product directly. That might mean a new product line, a core product improvement; or an exciting new idea to experiment on the product. You're usually working with one or two others, moving fast from a rough plan and jumping on problems as they surface.
Sometimes you build the multiplier. The safe surfaces and shared tooling that let a non-engineer ship without breaking things. Think the internal equivalent of what Lovable did for "anyone can put a website live", but for our problems: bills, switching, household admin at scale.
Both are hard engineering. And the two feed each other: the better the multiplier you build, the more the genuinely deep problems are the ones left for you. Leverage for the ops team is leverage for you.
What We Look For
You don't need to tick every box. If you read these and feel a mix of "this is me" and "this would stretch me", you're probably right for it.
- You own problems end to end. You're happiest going from fuzzy pain to shipped fix to the numbers that show it worked. You instinctively ask "what's the smallest thing we can ship to learn?" instead of waiting for a perfect spec.
- You think like a PM as much as an engineer. You care about the problem, the user, flow, UX, and even copy as much as correctness, because you've seen a small wording change flip confusion into action.
- You're a pragmatic builder. Clean, practical code others can extend. You know when to abstract and when to keep it brutally simple to go fast. You'll happily delete your own code when reality disagrees with it.
- You build leverage for other people. You explain complex things simply, you pair on gnarly problems, and you leave things clearer than you found them. You see a good tool that unblocks a teammate as real work, not a distraction from it.
- You're here for the problem. Fairness, money and complexity, made manageable for people who don't have time to fight the system themselves. You'd rather work hard on something that genuinely helps.
We hire across all levels (mid-senior, to staff+). The size and independence of your initial scope will reflect your experience, but the shape of the role is the same: you own outcomes. For earlier-career candidates, our assessment is primarily on your growth trajectory.
