A leading global investment firm with approximately $12bn AUM is building out its next-generation AI capability and is hiring an AI Engineer to define and deliver applied AI systems directly impacting research, trading, and business decision-making.

This is a high-visibility role working directly with Portfolio Managers, quants, and senior leadership to architect and deploy production-grade LLM and agentic AI systems across the firm.

You will:

  • Define and execute the technical roadmap for firmwide AI initiatives
  • Design, build, and deploy LLM-powered tools embedded directly into investment workflows
  • Architect agentic systems capable of multi-step reasoning, planning, and tool execution
  • Build and operate MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to securely connect AI agents to enterprise data and APIs
  • Own the full LLM lifecycle including prompt and system design, model selection, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration
  • Lead rapid prototyping using RAG, tool and function calling, and modern agent frameworks
  • Establish best practices for responsible, production-grade AI deployment
  • Mentor engineers and help raise the technical bar across applied AI initiatives

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.
