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.
About the role
You'll drive development of software that lets autonomous systems collaborate, process large sensor datasets, and present complex information through intuitive interfaces for tasking and control of multiple assets. Your code will directly support mission-critical operations, and you'll iterate closely with end users.
Responsibilities
- Design, build and test core software platforms and interfaces
- Iterate with customers and users to implement their requirements
- Interface with and test autonomous and robotic systems in the field
- Collaborate with engineers across AI/ML, networking and robotics
- Help drive a culture of excellence across engineering
