I’m working with a global technology company that sits right at the heart of professional sport.
Their platform is used every day by elite athletes, coaches, and performance teams around the world to train smarter, make better decisions, and push performance to the next level.
They’re building products that actually get used (at scale) by real people under real pressure. Think millions of users, live data, constant iteration, and a culture that ships hundreds of changes a day.
This is a great chance to really join a pioneering & innovation lead market leader working in one of the most exciting global domains!
If you love sport or are interested in working in a very data-driven company fuelled by engineering, this is a great match.
They’re now hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to join a cross-functional product team working on human performance and athlete data.
You’ll be hands-on, influential, and trusted from day one. They offer tons of autonomy & a very mature environment connecting you with likeminded engineers & other stakeholders.
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.

- Working on high-level architecture and systems design for robust backend systems

- Mentoring other engineers and helping set standards as the product scales
- Solving real, messy problems where the answers aren’t always obvious
You need:
- Solid backend experience with C# or a similar backend language (open to any but they are a C# house with Node/Rust)
- Experience in systems design/architecture (this is part of their interview process + a big part of their day to day for a Senior Engineer) - They are looking for real ownership!
- "Large-scale applications" experience + Real scale evidence (regulated or high-stakes domains a big plus!)
- Deploy velocity / CI-CD maturity
- The ability to influence change and help drive decisions
- A product mindset
- Someone who is a great communicator and have worked in a large cross-functional engineering team
