I’m partnering with a leading quantitative investment firm that is building a new Institutional AI engineering team focused on delivering high-impact, production-grade AI solutions across the business.
This team will design and deploy AI-powered applications that solve real operational and research challenges, working closely with quantitative researchers, trading teams, and business stakeholders. The focus is on practical deployment of Large Language Models and Generative AI in real-world production environments.
You will play a key role in architecting and delivering AI-driven applications from concept through to production. This is not a research-only role - the emphasis is on building scalable, reliable systems that create measurable impact.
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.
