The role
This company runs a global tax automation platform, backed by leading investors, with significant ARR. They're tackling genuinely complex regulatory problems, a high-leverage domain for AI. Think multi-jurisdiction edge cases, deep structured compliance data, and real-time decisions for enterprise customers.
You'd join an early-stage AI initiative, shaping how LLMs and agentic systems are applied across the product. There's no entrenched AI org or pre-baked playbook. This isn't a research role disconnected from production; you'll build and ship, with a real mandate to embed AI into core engineering values.
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 work
- Design the backend services powering new AI workflows across the platform.
- Optimise prompts and develop agent platforms for both internal and customer-facing applications.
- Build the evaluation pipelines that keep models honest and ensure accuracy in a high-stakes domain.
- Prototype intelligent workflows, natural language interfaces, and agent-driven experiences that simplify complex tax problems.
What You Bring
- 5+ years building customer-facing products at a high-quality software company, with end-to-end ownership.
- Deep, hands-on understanding of LLMs, prompt engineering, agent frameworks, and AI safety/security – production scar tissue, not lab time.
- Experience building RAG architectures in production and designing the evaluation pipelines that keep them honest.
- Strong product instincts combined with technical depth; you can argue for a model choice in commercial as well as accuracy terms.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity, experimenting quickly, and shipping iteratively in a domain that's still being defined.
