- Process Optimization: Proactively challenge existing workflows, propose enhancements, and celebrate team successes.
- Documentation & Communication: Maintain all technical documentation and conduct all team communication in English.
What You'll Do
- Design, develop, and maintain web services and APIs in Python/Node.js (or other specialized stacks).
- Enforce coding standards for clean, concise, stable, and extensible code.
- Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve production issues with urgency.
- Collaborate cross-functionally—with AI team, product owners, front-end teams, QA, DevOps, and external partners—to meet business objectives.
- Make high-level architecture decisions, balancing scalability, performance, and maintainability.
- Stay current on industry trends, evaluate new tools, and recommend product-level improvements.
- Serve as a mentor and role model for new and existing team members.
- Own and prioritize your technical backlog, ensuring transparency and alignment.
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.
