Data Scientist

Role Overview

We are looking for a talented and experienced Data Scientist to join our programme and help design, develop, and deploy advanced AI and Machine Learning solutions. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in data science, machine learning model development, and production deployment, with the ability to work collaboratively across teams to solve complex business challenges.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and implement AI/ML-based solutions to address business and regulatory challenges
  • Collaborate with data scientists, engineers, and business stakeholders to build and deploy production-grade machine learning models
  • Perform data analysis, feature engineering, model training, validation, and optimization
  • Conduct exploratory data analysis (EDA) to identify patterns, anomalies, and emerging risk indicators
  • Develop and maintain classification, ranking, and unsupervised learning models, including outlier detection solutions
  • Deploy and manage machine learning solutions using containerized and cloud-based platforms
  • Troubleshoot, debug, and enhance existing code and analytical solutions
  • Monitor model performance and support continuous improvement through validation and retraining
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to understand business requirements and translate them into scalable analytical solutions
  • Contribute to best practices in model governance, reproducibility, and version control

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.
