About The Company
Telemachus is a weird and very ambitious company. It makes a machine that makes companies. The large majority of the world’s companies have not been remade in light of A(G)I. Telemachus does not sell them software or buy them PE style. Rather, in a remarkably efficient and AI-native way, it recreates them from scratch, as they should be.
The company has gone from 0 to >$10m annualised revenue in 11 months and raised various millions from VCs along the way. We have a very small team and will not compromise on increasing our talent density.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

About the Role
We need someone to help us make our machine for making companies. You will do the large array of software engineering tasks to help make this machine into what it should be. This is a role with a broad remit in a very rapidly-changing company. You will:
- Interface with the rest of the company to work out how systems should be built
- Make scalable systems which can handle tens (for now) of millions in revenue
- Have ownership over said systems and their outcomes
Skills and Requirements
At Telemachus we heavily value intellect, drive and earnestness over particular experience. However, this is a technical role and experience designing, making and managing systems particularly for AI-native problems is very much appreciated.
