Data Architect

London (1 day per week) | European travel (3–4 times per year)

We're partnering with an innovative, product-led fintech that's investing heavily in its data platform and is looking for an experienced Data Architect to help shape the future of its data capability.

This is an opportunity to join a business where data sits at the heart of the product. You'll take ownership of the data architecture, lead the data function, and design a modern, scalable platform that enables customers to make smarter, data-driven decisions.

This is far more than a traditional data architecture role. You'll have the autonomy to influence technical strategy, work closely with Product and Engineering, and build a platform that will directly impact the customer experience.

What you'll be doing

  • Designing and owning the overall data architecture and strategy.
  • Building a scalable, cloud-native data platform using Snowflake.
  • Creating customer-focused data products and capabilities.
  • Leading and mentoring the data team.
  • Working closely with Product, Engineering and senior stakeholders to shape the data roadmap.
  • Establishing best practices around architecture, governance and data quality.
  • Driving innovation and ensuring the platform can scale with the business.

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.
