About the Role
Our client is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help build the software platform behind a next-generation AI authentication product that's changing how people securely interact with technology.
The AI doesn't rely on passwords, fingerprints or facial recognition. Instead, it learns how people naturally interact with their devices to create seamless, continuous authentication.
You'll build the production systems that make this possible.
What makes this different?
You'll solve the engineering challenges that turn cutting-edge AI into a product customers trust:
- Building scalable backend services
- Designing APIs that support AI-powered features
- Developing cloud-native systems on AWS
- Running highly available Kubernetes workloads
- Building intuitive web applications
- Making AI reliable, observable and production-ready
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.
You'll work directly alongside AI Engineers, influencing architecture and making technical decisions from day one.
Why engineers join startups like this
Large companies have specialists for everything. Here, you'll own problems end to end.
One week you might be designing backend services. The next you'll improve frontend experiences. The week after you'll be helping shape infrastructure or influencing product direction.
If you enjoy variety, ownership and solving difficult engineering problems, you'll feel at home.
You'll enjoy this role if you like:
- Building products from the ground up
- Working across the full stack
- Making architectural decisions
- Shipping software quickly
- Seeing the direct impact of your work
- Collaborating with AI Engineers
- Solving real engineering problems rather than maintaining legacy systems
Technology Stack
- TypeScript
- Node.js
- React
- AWS
- Kubernetes
