Applied AI Engineer (AI/ML) - London - YC-backed start-up
We’re working with a fast-growing YC-backed technology company using AI to transform a complex, traditionally manual industry.
Already working with major customers and backed by leading investors, they’re growing their engineering team and looking for an Applied AI Engineer to build production AI systems used across critical real-world workflows.
The Role
This is an applied, product-focused AI role rather than a research position. You’ll take real operational problems and turn them into production AI/ML systems, working across experimentation, modelling, evaluation, deployment and iteration. You’ll work closely with engineers, domain experts and users, with significant ownership over what gets built and how it performs in production.
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.

- Help shape AI engineering practices as the team scales
Requirements
- 2+ years' experience across Data Science, Machine Learning or AI Engineering
- Experience taking ML/AI systems beyond experimentation and into production
- Strong Python and practical ML fundamentals
- A product mindset and a track record of building solutions around real user problems
- Comfortable working across modelling, engineering and deployment
- Able to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Comfortable operating with high ownership in a fast-moving start-up environment
