- Integrate Generative AI capabilities (LLMs, multimodal models) into client solutions.
- Deliver end-to-end AI solutions from ideation to production deployment.
- Build, fine-tune, and evaluate LLM-based Q&A models using frameworks like AWS Bedrock, LangChain, HuggingFace Transformers, or OpenAI API.
- Design prompt templates and implement retrieval strategies to increase answer precision and factuality.
- Assist in creating data pipelines for training and testing, including annotation and evaluation tooling.
- Collaborate with product managers to translate user requirements into technical features.
- Participate in error analysis, iterative model improvement, and performance tuning.
- Document code and workflows clearly; follow best practices for reproducibility and code quality.
- Engage with clients to identify high-value AI use cases and define business benefits.
- Conduct workshops and assessments to align AI strategies with organisational goals.
- Provide thought leadership on AI adoption and emerging trends.
- Develop reusable frameworks and accelerators for Agentic AI and GenAI.

- Extend Microsoft 365 Copilot by building custom plugins and declarative agents within Microsoft Copilot Studio to surface enterprise data in Teams and Office apps.
- Operationalize AI solutions using Microsoft AI Foundry for model catalog management, Prompt Flow evaluation, and lifecycle governance.
- Architect scalable deployment patterns for agents using Azure Container Apps or Azure Functions, ensuring low-latency responses and cost-effective scaling.
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
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Required Skills
- Strong experience in Agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI).
- Hands-on expertise with Generative AI (LLMs, prompt engineering, fine-tuning).
- Proficiency in Python and familiarity with deep learning/NLP libraries (LangChain, PyTorch, TensorFlow, HuggingFace Transformers).
- Experience with building Q&A systems and retrieval-augmented generation pipelines.
- Knowledge of vector databases or semantic search concepts.
- Familiarity with cloud AI platforms (AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, GCP Vertex AI).
- Knowledge of MLOps practices and deployment pipelines.
- Ability to articulate business value of AI solutions and drive client conversations.
- Experience with Git, collaborative development workflows, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, Domino).
- Experience building custom copilots and plugins using Microsoft Copilot Studio and integrating them with Power Platform connectors.
