Senior Product Engineer
Principal Engineer (Greenfield Fintech Architecture)
A fallen at the first hurdle engineer with a focus on high-level problem-solving and end-to-end system ownership.
This is the first core internal technology hire—real ownership, real responsibility, not a glorified job title.
You’ll report directly to the CEO of a regulated investment platform with a live product, paying customers and real money in transit, while building a greenfield product alongside the existing management.
Mission
Refactor and re-architect the entire tech stack of a product acquired from a venture studio partner for multi-partner scale.
Responsibilities
- Own architecture, environments, and deployment pipelines during the transition and beyond.
- Deliver end-to-end development across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and operational systems.
- Integrate critical fintech components: KYC/AML, wallet screening, payments, and messaging providers.
- Work with TypeScript, React, Next.js, AWS, Node/NestJS, and PostgreSQL, augmented with AI dev tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot).
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.
This is an agentic, builder-centric role—no observers or tinkerers. Builders who move fast, ship iteratively and drive change.
Bonus Experience (But Not Mandatory)
- Wallet integration experience
- Experience in fintech, digital assets, or modular/scalable white-label platforms
- Prefer ex-founders, founding engineers ready to drive the next stage forward, or senior individual contributors (ICs) frustrated by stage-gated, 6-week sprint cycles.
For You If

Compensation & Location
£90k–£130k base + employee options ✅ Hybrid, with strong Northern England/Hubert-based presence or flexible work options (TBD, but predominantly London or hybrid).
Next Steps
This isn’t a guesswork approach. No CVs yet. Instead:
