Staff AI Engineer | Platform AI | London
I’m working with a fast-growing fintech startup looking for a Staff AI Engineer to help define how agentic AI is built into customer-facing financial products.
This is a senior, hands-on role focused on taking AI agents beyond prototypes and building the foundations required to make them reliable, secure and observable in production.
You’ll join as one of the most senior AI ICs in the team, with significant ownership over how agentic AI operates within a complex financial technology platform.
What you’ll be doing:
- Designing and building agentic AI capabilities for customer-facing products
- Building infrastructure around agent runtimes, orchestration and tool use
- Defining how agents are deployed, governed, executed and observed
- Building evaluation, tracing and monitoring for production AI systems
- Designing guardrails, controls and appropriate levels of agent autonomy
- Integrating AI with existing backend systems, APIs and platform architecture
- Influencing AI architecture and technical direction
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.
