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 Role
- Design and deliver backend services and APIs for customer-facing legal and company-management products.
- Shape architecture and engineering decisions within a Scrum team alongside engineers, product management and design.
- Improve code quality through testing, review, secure development practices and clear documentation.
- Mentor less experienced engineers and help the team adopt pragmatic technical standards.
- Explore appropriate uses of AI while keeping product quality and customer outcomes central.
What We're Looking For

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Strong commercial backend engineering experience, with evidence of owning complex features and technical decisions.
- Experience with modern backend languages, APIs, relational data and cloud-hosted applications.
- A collaborative approach to product development and confidence working with non-engineering colleagues.
- Good judgement around testing, maintainability, security and incremental modernisation.
