We're B Corp certified and believe profit and purpose go hand in hand.
Our Engineering Ways Of Working
Engineering is organised into four tribes, each owning a distinct product domain, made up of small autonomous squads (Engineering Manager, Product Manager, 3–5 engineers). We operate a build-and-run model — teams own the full lifecycle from architecture through to incident management. Stack: AWS serverless (Lambda, SQS, EventBridge, API Gateway, S3, ECS/Fargate), TypeScript/Node.js, MongoDB, some C#. Terraform + Serverless Framework for infra, GitHub Actions for CI/CD.
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.
The Role
You'll design, build and operate reliable, scalable, testable software TypeScript and Node.js supporting resilient financial workflow systems and regulated investment operations. As a senior engineer, you own your services end-to-end, mentor others, and are a go-to technical voice within your squad.
What You Need
- Strong commercial TypeScript/Node.js experience
- AWS and serverless experience
- Document databases, ideally MongoDB
- Experience owning services in a build-and-run model, including structured on-call/incident management
- Experience mentoring engineers
- Experience in regulated industries, ideally financial services or fintech
- Comfort with distributed systems, tracing and observability
- Bonus: multi-region, multi-currency, or trading-system complexity
