Role Overview
An insurance business is bringing in an experienced AI engineer on contract to build and ship production AI tools for its teams.
The Contract
You'll join a small, hands-on team and start delivering straight away. You'll work closely with business users to understand how their work gets done, then turn that into secure, production-ready AI systems. They need someone who can pick up a problem in week one and have something running soon after.
The Stack
- AWS serverless services
- PostgreSQL with vector search, embeddings and semantic retrieval
- LLMs through the major model providers, plus orchestration and prompt engineering
- Agentic AI: tool calling, retrieval pipelines, multi-step workflows, human-in-the-loop
- Document processing and data extraction
- Integration with enterprise data platforms
- Working alongside React/TypeScript frontend 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.
