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 responsibilities will span across services, interfaces, infrastructure, and integrations, looking after systems in production. We seek engineers comfortable moving across the stack to solve customer problems.
You will:
- Build internal or partner-facing product features
- Integrate Wayve systems with OEM environments
- Improve application quality
- Resolve production issues as they arise
This is a build-it, run-it team with shared ownership. You will not just write code—you will take shared ownership of the systems we build, using metrics and feedback to improve Portal over time and deliver an outstanding customer experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and operate software products used by Wayve staff and our autonomy partners.
- Develop services, APIs, integrations, and user interfaces across the Portal platform.
- Work across microservices, web frontends, cloud infrastructure, and partner-facing systems.
- Improve the reliability, observability, and operability of the Portal platform.
- Triage and resolve production issues, whether reported by customers or detected through internal monitoring.
- Once established, participate in an out-of-hours on-call and support rotation.
- Solve problems end-to-end: understand the customer need, design the solution, build it, ship it, and keep it running.
About You
Essential
- Strong software engineering experience (we use Java, Python, React, and TypeScript).
- Experience building and operating production systems, ideally as part of a small team.
- Experience building multi-tenant platforms or APIs for external users.
- Experience building tools and processes that make your team faster.
- Experience with enterprise SaaS, B2B platforms, or customer-facing production systems.
- Comfort working across the stack (infrastructure, backend services, APIs, and frontend development), even though this role is back-end leaning.
- Experience with on-call, incident response, or support rotation for production systems.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work directly with stakeholders.
- Product-minded: you care about user problems and understand that the solution has to solve those problems, not just be technically sound.
- High sense of ownership in ambiguous, fast-changing environments.
- Motivated by a startup within a scale-up: small team, big impact, enterprise-grade.
