Powering Great Work
We started as the place to find a trusted trade. Now, as we shape the future of home improvement, we're building the tech to transform that landscape for everyone - better products, smarter data, AI where it actually helps - so trades can spend less time on admin and consumers can find someone they trust, first time. That's Powering Great Work, and it's why every team here exists:
🔧 Trades spend less time on admin and more on winning work and growing their business
🏠 Homeowners get a trusted trade, first time, every time
🚀 We get to build products that change homes and lives across the country
The Job
You'll sit in Enterprise Engineering, the team that owns our Salesforce org, the critical workflows inside it and the way Salesforce plugs into the rest of our stack. Salesforce is your home turf, but you're almost as happy wiring up TypeScript services beyond it. Do it well and our teams get systems that work together, so tradespeople and homeowners get a smoother experience.
Responsibilities:
- Design, build and maintain solutions across Apex, LWC and advanced declarative features, mainly in Sales and Service Cloud, plus Zuora, Retool, Braze CRM and Node/TypeScript services on Kubernetes on GCP.
- Use AI coding tools with confidence to move faster without cutting corners on quality.
- Architect secure, scalable integrations between Salesforce and our other core services, including inbound and outbound REST APIs and platform event-driven workflows.
- Work alongside distributed engineering and data teams to keep data flowing cleanly and the architecture cohesive, bringing your Salesforce knowledge into the wider engineering conversation.
- Own and improve the deployment pipelines across Salesforce and other services, so releases to production are smooth, automated and reliable.
- Champion code quality: write thorough tests, run solid code reviews and help others get the best out of AI-assisted development.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
