Your new company

Join a highly successful and growing financial services organisation that places data at the centre of its business strategy. With significant investment in technology, cloud platforms, and business intelligence capabilities, the company is embarking on an exciting phase of data transformation and modernisation.

This is an opportunity to work within a collaborative environment where data is viewed as a strategic asset, giving you the chance to influence the direction of the organisation's data architecture and reporting capability.

Your new role

As a Data Engineer, you will play a key role in the design, development, and optimisation of the company's enterprise data platform. Working closely with business stakeholders, technical teams, and third-party partners, you will help transform raw data into meaningful insights that support strategic decision-making across the organisation.

Key responsibilities

  • Designing and developing data pipelines, ETL processes, and data integrations.
  • Building and maintaining data warehouse solutions and data repositories.
  • Developing robust data models, including fact and dimension tables for reporting and analytics.
  • Managing data quality, governance, lineage, and security across the data estate.
  • Creating and enhancing reporting and business intelligence solutions, including Power BI.
  • Supporting cloud-based data environments across Azure and AWS.
  • Collaborating with stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions.
  • Contributing to the ongoing evolution of the organisation's data strategy and architecture.
  • Supporting platform migrations and continuous improvement initiatives.

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.
