Central Bristol (hybrid)
🚀 The Giant Minds of Software
We're a bespoke software development house with brilliant talent, proudly based in central Bristol. Working across different sectors and with the latest technology, we deliver exceptional software engineering through high-quality bespoke projects, helping technically ambitious companies meet their business goals.
đź“Ť Central Bristol, hybrid | đź’° ÂŁ50,000 to ÂŁ60,000 + 8% non-contributory pension + profit share |
The role:
You'll build high-quality software for a real mix of clients. No two projects are the same: one might be a web-based HR system, the next a platform syncing prices across hundreds of vet practices. You'll own proper pieces of a system yourself, not just individual tickets, and move across different codebases and problem domains as you go. You can see some of what we've built at https://www.ghyston.com/work.
Your day-to-day:
- Designing and building maintainable software across client projects, owning meaningful pieces yourself
- Getting deeply involved in code and system reviews - guiding and mentoring others (if senior), and constructively contributing as a peer (if mid-level)
- Writing your own tests, reviewing your teammates' code and keeping standards high
- Getting up to speed quickly on unfamiliar codebases and business domains
- Talking directly to clients when something needs resolving
- Using AI and modern tooling well, to lift both the quality and the pace of what you ship
- Helping the developers around you get better, and learning from everyone you work with
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.
How we work:
Projects run in an Agile way, with a Project Manager, Product Owner and Tech Lead working alongside the developers, plus our QA and Design teams. We're an in-person Bristol team, and once you're settled you can work from home around two days a week. Ideas for doing things better are welcome from anyone, at any level.
You should apply if:
- You have a background in full-stack software development (several years’ experience or demonstrable equivalent) with a track record of owning meaningful components of a system, with minimal supervision.
- You have depth in at least one primary stack among C# and .NET, Java and the JVM, or React and TypeScript, enough for peers to treat you as a go-to expert.
- You've owned real chunks of a system, not just individual tickets
- You pick up new tech and new domains quickly
- You're happy picking up the phone to a client when something needs resolving
- You're genuinely interested in using AI to work smarter
