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.
What You Will Do
- Own 2–3 high-leverage company bets annually, turning fuzzy product problems into clear technical plans and shipping end-to-end slices every two weeks.
- Architect and evolve core patterns using TypeScript, Temporal, and AI, creating stable libraries that allow the team to expand service lines in minutes.
- Act as a technical multiplier by mentoring emerging leads, conducting high-impact code reviews, and embedding with squads to unblock complex cross-system issues.
The ideal candidate
- You have extensive experience as a hands-on product engineer, with a track record of leading cross-functional initiatives that move core business metrics.
- You possess deep expertise in modern stacks (TypeScript, React, Node) and distributed systems, specifically focusing on reliability, observability, and long-running workflows.
- You are a systems thinker who enjoys building developer primitives while maintaining an obsession with user experience and the impact of every line of code.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
