About the Role
Reporting to the Head of Engineering, this is a senior, hands-on role with real authority attached: you'll own a core area of GT Maritime's platform end to end. When something breaks in production — a distributed fault with no clear cause, on equipment nobody can reach — you're the one who finds the actual root cause, builds the fix, and gets it safely shipped. You'll own three products end to end: Replicate (file replication between ship and shore), Fastnet (packet transport and bandwidth management) and Deploy (software updates to vessel endpoints) — all C#,.NET and AWS. Beyond writing code, you'll hold pull request authority over other developers' work, own the weekly production release builds across the product estate, and carry the security and stability workload that comes out of penetration testing and ISO 27001.
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.
We work Shape Up, in six-week cycles — you get a problem and an appetite, not a spec, and you do the uphill investigation yourself before anything is built.
Delivery & Ownership
- Design and build complex backend features spanning remote agents, shore-side services and the cloud stack that connects them.
- Diagnose intermittent, distributed failures from logs and telemetry rather than guesswork, and own delivery end to end — test plan, edge cases, and rollback path included.
Quality & Release
- Act as a Change Authority: review and authorize pull requests from other developers as if you'd written the code yourself, including running it locally.
- Produce the weekly production release builds and verify rollback before every release.
Security & Compliance
- Fix the security findings that come out of penetration testing — authorization defects, credential handling, secret management — and build to ISO 27001 requirements, producing the technical evidence the audit needs.
Leadership Without Direct Reports
- Mentor developers by pairing on hard problems and through review feedback that teaches.
- Document the build and deployment process so no part of the release depends on one person.
Must Have
- Expert-level commercial C# and.NET: advanced patterns, async and concurrency done correctly, performance and memory work
- ASP.NET Core Web APIs, Entity Framework Core, and long-running Windows services or worker processes
- Real database depth — schema design, migrations, query optimization, index behavior and transaction isolation (MariaDB/MySQL, SQLite)
- AWS in production, not just in theory: Lambda, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, S3, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch — able to debug a live issue from the logs
- Distributed systems instincts: retries, idempotency, eventual consistency, reconciling two systems that can't always reach each other
- Application security you can act on: authorization and access control, encryption and key management, credential storage
- Advanced Git and CI/CD pipelines; code review that catches architectural problems, not just style
- Around 8+ years of commercial software development, several at senior level owning features end to end

Should Have
- Windows client/agent software: installers, services, code signing, upgrade and rollback
- Real-time messaging (SignalR or equivalent), including tenant isolation
- Microsoft Graph, SharePoint or OneDrive integration experience
- Working TypeScript and modern front-end knowledge, enough to finish a feature through the dashboard
- Comfort reading legacy code (C++, Visual Basic)
- AI-assisted development experience (Claude Code, Amazon Q or similar) as everyday practice
- Maritime, satellite comms, or other bandwidth-constrained domain background
Who Fits This Role
We'd rather fix the cause than escalate the symptom. This is the engineer who independently takes a customer-affecting problem, finds the actual root cause in a distributed system with intermittent faults, and gets the fix safely into production on equipment that's difficult to reach. Maritime experience isn't required — we'll teach you the domain.
