WHY JOIN THE DATA TEAM
As part of the MONY Group Data Team, our goal is to drive business growth by building and maintaining data products that power analytics, financial reporting, CRM, machine learning and personalised customer experiences. We work closely with teams across the business to make data clean, reliable, secure and accessible for decision-making.
Data & AI Engineering is a cross-functional team of engineers and scientists. We integrate with the group's operational data stores, maintain shared data models, build AI-infused internal and external data products, and provide tools and services that help data teams handle data securely and ship with confidence.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who wants to build reliable data platform capability and improve how engineering work gets done. You will help operate and evolve the platform that supports analytics, CRM, financial reporting and machine learning across MONY Group.
AI-assisted engineering is an important part of the role, but we do not expect candidates to arrive as experts in every agent framework or tool. We are looking for strong engineering judgement, curiosity, and the ability to apply automation responsibly to real delivery and operational problems.
You might come from data engineering, platform engineering, software engineering, SRE, analytics engineering, MLOps, or cloud infrastructure. What matters most is that you enjoy reducing toil, improving developer experience, and building secure, observable systems that other teams can depend on.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
