The Role

In this role, you will define the architectural blueprint and technology foundations for AI-driven solutions that transform how customers in dynamic, data-intensive industries operate, scale, and innovate. You will design robust, future-ready AI architectures that enable automation, advanced analytics, and intelligent decision-making across complex digital transformation programs. With access to cutting-edge AI frameworks, high-performance computing environments, and modern data platforms, you will guide engineering and data science teams in building secure, scalable, and ethical AI systems. This role empowers you to shape end-to-end AI ecosystems—accelerating delivery, enhancing customer experience, strengthening operational resilience, and driving their journey toward a more intelligent, AI-enabled future.

Your responsibilities:

  • Define the enterprise AI architecture vision and reference patterns; align them to business goals, risk posture, and engineering standards across cloud and hybrid environments.
  • Design secure, scalable AI solutions covering data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, inference, and continuous feedback loops.
  • Establish integration patterns (APIs, events, microservices) to embed model-powered capabilities into existing platforms with clear service boundaries.
  • Define enterprise-wide AI architecture guidelines, reusable components, and long-term roadmap to ensure consistency and acceleration of AI initiatives.
  • Implement MLOps/LLMOps pipelines for versioning, CI/CD, approvals, and controlled promotion across environments; enforce reproducibility.
  • Work closely with product owners, data scientists, engineers, security teams, and business stakeholders to ensure architecture translates into high-value solutions.
  • Enforce IAM least privilege with IAM Conditions, organization policies, and scoped service accounts; integrate BeyondCorp for zero trust access.
  • Operationalise observability using Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, Error Reporting, Trace, and Profiler; build model/LLM telemetry dashboards and alerts.
  • Identify the right AI/ML frameworks, cloud services, model orchestration tools, and infrastructure components that align with business needs and scalability goals.
  • Architect APIs, microservices, and integration patterns that embed AI capabilities seamlessly into existing workflows and digital products.

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.

Your Profile

Essential skills/knowledge/experience:

  • Design agentic AI architectures using multi-agent orchestration patterns (planner executor, supervisor worker, tool-using agents).
  • Define reference architectures for enterprise agent platforms integrating LLMs with systems of record (core banking, CRM, risk, payments).
  • Design audit-ready agent interactions, tool usage logs, and decision provenance.
  • Select and standardize frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, Google ADK, MCP, A2A patterns).
  • Hands-on expertise with agentic frameworks (orchestrators).
  • Experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, tool/function calling, memory management.
  • API-first integration, event-driven architectures, and data pipelines.
  • Exposure to AI quality metrics: task success rate, groundedness, containment, FCR.
  • Experience on Google Cloud Platform (preferred) or equivalent hyperscale.
  • Deep understanding of LLMs, generative AI, RAG patterns, vector databases, embeddings, and prompt/guardrail engineering.
