Senior Software Engineer
£65,000–£85,000 + benefits + 28 days holiday (+ bank holidays)
Remote-first in England, the team meet up once a month in London max.
Do you want real ownership in a small, strong engineering team where you can genuinely influence what gets built and how it gets built?
You’ll join as the second engineer, working directly alongside the Founding Engineer with genuine ownership across the product rather than being one engineer in a massive team.
They’re building a modern discount platform for 18–25 year olds, similar to UNiDAYS or Blue Light Card, and the entire platform has been built from scratch.
You’ll work across:
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.
- TypeScript / Node.js
- React / Next.js
- React Native
- GCP (open to AWS)
- Vercel
- APIs / Cloud Functions
- Distributed systems & background workflows
Ideally you are a full-stack engineer across TypeScript, Node.js React, Next.js with a little bit of mobile who enjoys taking ownership and solving problems. You don’t need everything else in the stack. I’ve included it to give you visibility of the environment you’ll be working in.
They’re also very AI-native. They want engineers who use AI to move faster, but who have the engineering fundamentals to understand, challenge and take ownership of what it produces rather than blindly relying on it.

It’s a small team of around 8–9 people, so you’ll be expected to muck in, challenge ideas and have a real say in how the product and engineering function develop. As they grow, there’s scope to move into mentoring, hiring and technical leadership.
It’s remote-first anywhere in the UK, with roughly 1 day a month in London for team time. They also offer flexible hours and care more about output than sticking rigidly to 9–5.
