About EnGen

EnGen is an early-stage climate-tech venture developing technology to recover waste heat from AI data centres and convert a portion of it back into useful electricity.

We're soon moving into R&D and prototyping and are looking for a Technical Co-Founder to help lead the development of the technology.

The Role

You'll work closely with the founder and technical team to shape EnGen's technical direction and develop our first prototype, with a particular focus on:

  • Thermal system design and modelling
  • Heat transfer and thermodynamics
  • Thermal/thermochemical energy storage
  • ORC and power-cycle integration
  • Hardware prototyping and testing
  • Integration with liquid-cooled data centres

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.

The Opportunity

This is a genuine co-founder role with meaningful equity, rather than a conventional engineering hire. EnGen is currently early-stage, so the position is initially equity-based, with salary expected following appropriate funding.

Based in London, with flexibility for hybrid working.

If you're interested in energy, AI infrastructure and building ambitious hardware from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.
