The role
This company is building the future of AI for regulated industries. They combine large language models with a proprietary symbolic reasoning engine, delivering accurate, explainable, and auditable decisions. Their technology is already live with tier-1 banks and leading accountancy firms, and they're backed by leading investors. Founded by a recognised leader in AI who previously built the technology behind a widely-used voice assistant, they're now scaling from bespoke enterprise engagements to a public API platform.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be hands-on building the core of that platform. This isn't just integrating existing LLMs; it's tackling genuinely novel problems at the intersection of classical symbolic AI and modern LLMs. You'll own systems end-to-end, from ideation to production, working in a small, high-calibre team alongside research engineers and applied scientists. Expect real ownership, not just picking up someone else's spec.
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 work
- Design and build public API infrastructure, including authentication, scalability, and developer tooling.
- Develop document-ingestion pipelines to handle diverse formats and regulatory jurisdictions.
- Create and implement evaluation frameworks to measure and continuously improve system accuracy.
- Contribute to the core symbolic reasoning engine: decision-tree evaluation, rule generation, and knowledge-graph construction.
- Solve genuinely novel problems like representing complex regulatory knowledge as machine-evaluable rules.
What You Bring
- Strong hands-on Python, writing well-typed, well-tested code in a collaborative monorepo.
- A track record of taking new systems from ideation to production, owning them end-to-end.
- Experience putting AI into production, specifically with agentic systems, LLM integration, and robust evaluation/iteration.
- Ability to tackle non-trivial algorithms and data structures, valuing problem complexity over specific tools.
- Cloud infrastructure experience (AWS preferred): S3, ECR, ECS/EKS, and infrastructure managed via Terraform or similar.
