Senior Backend Software Engineer
£80,000 to £90,000 plus equity and options
Fully remote. Applicants must be based in the UK, Ireland, or Serbia.
Most backend roles are the same system with a different logo on it. This one involves connecting labs, healthcare systems, APIs, and bioinformatics pipelines into workflows that have to be reliable, compliant, and right first time, because the output goes to real patients and real clinicians.
The company is a health tech start-up that has just won a major NHS contract. For a business of their size, that is a big moment, and it means years of work to build rather than a single project. You would be joining early enough to shape the platform instead of inheriting it.
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.
