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.
The engineering organisation focuses heavily on high-throughput systems, distributed architecture, scalability and reliability. Golang is the preferred language, although experience with Java or Python will also be considered.
As a Staff Engineer, you’ll operate across teams, influence technical direction and help solve some of the organisation’s most challenging engineering problems. You’ll have significant input into architecture, design and engineering standards while remaining close to the technology.
