Company Description
At Data Intellect it has never been just about data or technology, they are our tools. It’s about human intellect, collaboration and providing solutions for the most complex of challenges.
We do this by living the [DI] code: We are Problem Solvers who are Humble, possess a Can-do Attitude with a focus on Togetherness. “We are not big on egos, but we’re not for the faint-hearted either” – Steve Turner, CEO
Job Description
At Data Intellect, we solve some of the most complex data engineering challenges in global financial markets.
For over two decades, we've partnered with many of the world's leading investment banks, hedge funds and exchanges, helping them build high-performance data platforms that power trading, analytics and market surveillance. We're recognised as one of the world's leading consultancies specialising in time series data and capital markets technology.
As our clients continue to adopt modern data platforms, we're investing in a new capability centred around ClickHouse. This is an exciting opportunity to join at the beginning of that journey, helping us build a new consulting practice while working on challenging projects with some of the biggest names in financial services.
The Opportunity
We're looking for experienced Consultants / Data Engineers who are passionate about building scalable, high-performance data platforms.
Previous ClickHouse experience is desired. We’re looking for people with strong data engineering fundamentals, excellent Python and SQL skills, and experience working with large-scale financial or time series datasets.
As part of a growing specialist team, you'll have the opportunity to shape our ClickHouse capability from the ground up, influence technical direction and work closely with both clients and internal engineering teams.
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.
