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.
Key Responsibilities
- Design realistic and challenging coding tasks involving feature implementation and bug fixes.
- Create tasks that reflect authentic backend engineering workflows and practical software development challenges.
- Develop deterministic verifiers that accept reasonable valid solutions and reject incorrect implementations.
- Build and validate solutions using backend programming languages such as Java, Node.js, Go, Rust, TypeScript, Python, or C++.
- Develop tasks involving scalable services, APIs, debugging, performance optimization, and automated testing.
- Review code quality, maintainability, correctness, and adherence to technical requirements.
- Design evaluation criteria that distinguish robust solutions from superficially plausible implementations.
- Incorporate security considerations into tasks and verifiers where applicable.
- Document assumptions, expected behavior, edge cases, and validation requirements.
- Apply independent technical judgment throughout the task development and review process.
