Dex is an AI recruiter agent that helps you run your job search. Tell Dex your stack, seniority, and what you want to build. We will manage your applications and surface other opportunities that are a fit.
The role
This company is building a love of movement for the 96% of people who don't already go to the gym. They're proving exercise can be genuinely fun, not a chore. Their core product is in VR, with ambitious zero-to-one builds now pushing into wearable AI and AR glasses. No established playbook here.
You'll join the senior leadership team, shaping company and product direction, not just executing it. This is a hands-on VP Eng role, leading a lean team of 11 engineers. You'll coach through the work, occasionally shipping code on early prototypes. This isn't a "maintain the machine" VP Eng role. It's about building the machine, and the AI-driven way of building it, at the same time.
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.
