Founding Python Engineer
London (Shoreditch) | 5 days onsite | Competitive Salary + Equity
One of the most exciting early-stage AI companies we're partnering with is looking to hire a Founding Python Engineer.
You'll join one of the first engineering hires, helping build autonomous AI systems that automate real-world operational workflows for one of the world's largest industries. This isn't a role where you'll inherit years of legacy code. You'll be building products from scratch, working directly with the founders, shipping features quickly and helping shape both the engineering culture and technical direction of the company.
What you'll be building
As one of the first engineering hires, you'll play a key role in designing and shipping AI products from the ground up. Your work will include:
- Building autonomous AI agents that handle complex workflows such as property management, tenant communications, contractor coordination and sales processes.
- Designing scalable backend services and APIs in Python, enabling AI systems to reason, make decisions and take actions across multiple platforms.
- Integrating with real-world systems including CRMs, email, WhatsApp and other communication tools to create seamless end-to-end automation.
- Developing production-ready AI features using modern LLMs, focusing on reliability, orchestration and real customer impact rather than proof-of-concepts.
- Working closely with the founders to shape product direction, influence technical architecture and ship features that reach customers within days.
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.
The ideal candidate will have experience with
- Strong commercial experience building backend applications in Python, with frameworks such as FastAPI (or similar modern Python frameworks).
- Experience designing scalable APIs and distributed backend systems.
- Exposure to LLMs, AI agents or agentic workflows, whether through commercial projects or impressive personal work.
- Confidence working across the stack when required, ideally with TypeScript and React/Next.js, although backend engineering remains the primary focus.
- Experience building and deploying cloud-native applications on AWS or GCP, using modern engineering practices.
- A product-focused mindset with the ability to take ownership, move quickly and make technical decisions in a fast-paced startup environment.

- You're excited by AI beyond simply calling APIs.
- You enjoy working closely with founders and product.
- You thrive in ambitious, fast-moving environments.
