About Our Client
Our client is one of Europe's fastest-growing software companies, on a mission to solve productivity problems for people-intensive industries using AI and automation. Since being founded, they've focused on automating the manual, tedious parts of complex workflows — consolidating entire industries' work into one sleek, integrated platform. Building alongside cutting-edge LLMs, they're pushing the boundaries of what AI agents can do in the real world.
They've been recognised as one of the best places to work in the UK, and they take that seriously: pursuing innovation, championing employee wellbeing, and offering fast-paced growth in a supportive, transatlantic culture. Their engineering team is a group of thoughtful, collaborative professionals who care about quality, continuous improvement, and meaningful product outcomes — not just output.
As they enter their next stage of growth, they're looking for a talented Software Engineer to help build a platform used all day, every working day, by thousands of people.
The Role
You'll join a high-performing, collaborative engineering team building a product that modern industry professionals rely on constantly.
This is a startup with high standards, where engineers are trusted owners, strong collaborators, and thoughtful product contributors. You'll work across the stack, help shape the future of the architecture, and solve real customer problems with empathy and clarity.
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.
If you enjoy breadth, autonomy, and impactful work, you'll thrive here — and it's an excellent opportunity for a top graduate looking to fast-track their engineering career in a high-growth environment.
What You'll Do
- Design, build, and maintain product features end-to-end
- Develop scalable backend services (Python) and intuitive frontend components (Svelte/jQuery)
- Own your work from design and implementation through testing and deployment
- Contribute to a high-quality, well-structured codebase — writing maintainable, predictable, readable code built for reliability and long-term health
- Collaborate closely with product, QA, and other engineers — asking clarifying questions early, seeking feedback, and communicating with precision
- Work with QA as partners in quality, not downstream testers
- Bring product thinking into engineering decisions — understanding why a feature matters and how it impacts customers
- Challenge assumptions, propose ideas, and help shape product direction
What They're Looking For
Academic background:
- A degree from a top university, with a strong academic record
- Some relevant industry experience (internships, placements, or early-career roles are welcome)
Technical skills:

Experience with any of the following is a bonus (not required):

- Think like an owner, taking responsibility from definition to delivery
- Care deeply about quality, long-term maintainability, and thoughtful design
- Have strong product instincts — seeking context, understanding customer impact, and challenging assumptions
- Communicate clearly, especially in ambiguous or high-stakes situations
- Adapt quickly, breaking down unclear problems into actionable steps
- Seek continuous improvement, for yourself, your code, and your team
Experience:
They welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds, but the ideal profile includes:
- Experience building production features in a startup or scale-up environment
- Comfort working across the stack and across multiple product surfaces
- Evidence of taking initiative, influencing teams without relying on authority, and raising issues early with constructive solutions
