This role has one non-negotiable: you've actually done it. Not read about it, not advised on it, not sat in a workshop and drawn boxes. You've actually led domain discovery with real business stakeholders, defined bounded contexts that made sense of a messy domain, and delivered microservice architectures where the boundaries came from the business, not the tech.
If that's your day job, then this is the new role for you.
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.
About you:
- Deep, hands-on DDD: strategic and tactical patterns applied to complex systems in production. Not theory, not advisory. Done it.
- Domain discovery leadership: Event Storming, domain storytelling, or equivalent. You drive the room, you don't just facilitate it.
- End-to-end architectural ownership: ADRs, C4, defending decisions confidently at senior stakeholder level.
- Java / Spring Boot as your core: TypeScript / React alongside it. Close enough to the code to be credible with engineers.
- A consulting mindset: you translate messy business problems into clean, scalable technical solutions.
- A genuine track record of raising the bar: mentoring engineers, leaving teams and codebases better than you found them.
- Core stack: Java / Spring Boot · TypeScript · Docker / Kubernetes · GitLab · AWS · Maven · NoSQL / SQL · GovUK UI Framework
