About Spydr
We're a growing technology company building SaaS products while supporting a portfolio of client marketing websites. You'll join a collaborative engineering team where your work has direct impact - from keeping client sites healthy and performing to contributing to the development of our own products.
The role
What you'll be doing
We're looking for a hands-on engineer based in or around Bristol to own the day-to-day maintenance, content operations, and development of WordPress-powered client websites, with a secondary focus on Drupal projects. You'll be the go-to person for keeping sites fast, secure, and up to date, while also taking on build work as client requirements evolve.
This is a great fit if you're a practical, detail-oriented developer who enjoys variety - one day you might be building a new page template, the next you're diagnosing a plugin conflict or advising a client on their content structure.

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

Drupal (Supporting Role)
- Build and maintain custom components using Twig templates
- Use the Drupal admin UI to manage content types, views, and configuration
