Investment Data Engineer – Private Markets Data Platform (Banking / Investments)
£700–£800 per day Inside IR35 for an initial 6 months. Hybrid working 2 days working from home.
Investment Data Engineer – VP Level - 6 month rolling Contract
I’m working with Global Private Bank on a senior contract hire within its Private Markets Data & Analytics team.
They are looking for an experienced Investment Data Engineer to take ownership of key elements of their data architecture, integration and platform development environment. This is a role for someone who can get under the bonnet of a complex investment data landscape, make strong technical decisions and build solutions that can genuinely improve how Private Markets data is structured, integrated and used.
The Role
This is a high-impact, hands-on VP-level engineering contract with significant ownership across the data platform.
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.
