Data Engineer | London (Hybrid) | £5BN Asset Management Firm
About the Opportunity
We are collaborating with a London-based investment firm with strong ties to hedge funds and institutional finance. They prioritise substance over spectacle—running serious capital and seeking serious, reliable engineering to match.
We are seeking a data engineer with solid fundamentals who can:
- Own and maintain production systems
- Enhance reliability and data freshness
- Introduce innovative capabilities
- Adapt priorities to evolving business needs
This is not a transactional "build what you’re told" role. Instead, we need a self-motivated, proactive engineer able to:
- Identify business challenges through data
- Map data architectures
- Drive end-to-end solutions with collaboration across teams
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.
