We're working with one of Europe's fastest growing logistics startups
Backed by one of the largest Series A rounds the sector has seen and led by a top tier deep tech investor. Their mission is simple but ambitious: to remove the friction that high delivery costs create in online commerce, and make it possible for more goods to move more freely between more people.
This is a business scaling faster than almost any other venture backed company in Europe right now, and they're building a genuinely talent dense team to match. Around 90 people so far, over half of them in engineering, product and data, with 45+ advanced degrees across computer science, maths and operations research sitting inside the team.
What you'll be doing
- You'll own real, end to end problems rather than tickets, spanning routing algorithms, real time optimisation services and the operational tools that keep the whole platform moving.
- You'll be working alongside senior engineering leaders with backgrounds spanning large scale distributed systems, ML inference and enterprise infrastructure at some of the biggest names in tech and ecommerce.
- Expect to ship production quality code weekly, sometimes daily, and to see the direct impact of your work on a business already powering some of the fastest growing ecommerce platforms in the world.
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.
Tech environment
- Python, Rust and TypeScript, used deliberately rather than for the sake of it.
- Cross platform apps built in Flutter with a genuine focus on user experience.
- Cloud native infrastructure on GCP, with heavy use of BigQuery and Cloud Run.
- Extensive ML modelling and LLM inference as part of daily engineering work, not a side project.
- Growing integrations into robotics and IoT powered operations.
