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
- Strong C/C++ capability; Rust for embedded/systems is desirable
- Hands-on expertise in ARM architecture with experience across Cortex-M and/or Cortex-A ecosystems
- Proven background in Linux kernel development and device driver programming on ARM platforms
- Experience covering both pre-silicon validation/emulation and post-silicon bring-up strategies
- Solid software architecture skills: designing well-structured APIs, middleware, and maintainable abstractions
- Excellent debugging, analytical thinking, and cross-functional communication
- Relevant degree (or equivalent) and 5+ years commercial experience delivering complex embedded/system software products
