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.
Your Tech Stack & Expertise
- Backend Core: Strong proficiency in PHP, Python, and modern RESTful API design.

- Containerisation & Cloud Architecture: Experience with containerisation (Docker) and cloud environments (Google Cloud), relational databases, and handling distributed systems at scale.
- Clean Code Philosophy: Strong foundation in SOLID design principles, unit testing, and microservices architecture. Mobile API integration is a big plus.
