Senior Software Engineer (AI products)
Epsom, Surrey and Barbican, London | Hybrid Working (One office day per week) | Permanent | Full-Time
Competitive salary available, depending on experience
37.5 hours per week
We are seeking Senior Software / AI Product Engineers who can identify, design, build and put into production AI-powered tools that solve real business problems. Working in a forward-deployed model, you will partner directly with business stakeholders to uncover opportunities, rapidly prototype solutions and iterate based on feedback. The role combines hands-on software engineering, data integration, automation and product thinking, with success measured through adoption, reliability and measurable business value.
Successful candidates will be comfortable taking solutions from concept through to production, including CI/CD pipelines, deployment to cloud infrastructure, monitoring and operational support. You will own the full lifecycle, combining strong software engineering fundamentals and practical application of AI technologies with cloud and DevOps expertise to deliver value quickly and safely. While AI-assisted development is central to the role, this remains a hands-on software engineering position requiring strong coding, architectural and operational capabilities.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:
- Build digital products, AI-powered features, agents and automated workflows that solve priority business challenges.
- Validate ideas quickly with business stakeholders through AI-prototyped products and solutions rather than documentation.
- Use AI-assisted tools (e.g., Claude and/or Copilot) to take solutions from discovery and prototype through testing, deployment, monitoring and ongoing support.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation of cloud-hosted solutions.
- Productionise successful prototypes into secure, maintainable internal applications.
- Champion effective use of AI to increase engineering productivity and accelerate delivery.
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.
