Optific+
Initial 2–3 month contract, potential to extend or go full-time
UK based, ideally London. Elsewhere in the UK is fine if you can get to London for team days.
About us
Optific+ is building the AI intelligence layer for optical businesses. Optical groups have their information scattered across practice management systems, tills, reporting tools and documents. We connect those sources and let teams ask questions about their business in plain language, with every answer cited back to the source record. We are moving into enterprise pilots and need someone to own the technical implementation of them.
The role
Your first focus is a pilot with a multi-site optical group. You will work out how to get at their data, build the integration, map it into something we can query reliably, configure the product around the agreed use cases and keep it working through the pilot. Then turn what you learn into a repeatable process for the next customer.
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.
This is not greenfield product work. The problem is making an existing AI product work inside a real customer's technical environment, usually one with poor documentation and no clean modern API.
Stack
- TypeScript
- Postgres via Supabase
- Qdrant for vector search on our own German hosting
- OpenAI enterprise API
- Cloudflare
Tenant isolation is enforced at the database level, so careful data handling matters here more than in most product work.
What we need
- Strong backend engineering, with real experience integrating third-party systems and APIs
- Comfortable with messy datasets, data transformation and undocumented systems
- Solid grasp of authentication, permissions, secrets management and secure data handling
- Able to debug across several systems at once, not just inside one application
- Happy working directly with founders, with incomplete information, at pace
