Your new company
I'm looking for a Data Engineer who can support our client on a project. The rate is £489 per day inside scope of IR35.

Your new role
Role description
As a Data Engineer in the AttRep Team you will define and shape the way we build and transform our audit data products. These data products will be used by our front-end Attribute Reputation services (APIs) to provide attribute insights for fraud detection and prevention across the company.
It is vital that CIP Data Engineers are as equally committed to operating, maintaining and improving our pipelines and channels as they are to creating the forward-looking features. We live by the "You build it, you run it" ethos. We would like to develop good software engineers with an interest in working on a data platform as CIP Data Engineers.
The sheer scale of information our data products provide CIP Data Engineers with the opportunity to explore cutting edge & emerging technologies. Engineers should be comfortable reaching out to technology communities in order to learn, share and create new possibilities for our data products. Whether this is focussed on improving the quality of the data we capture or how we summarise and present that data to different audiences, creativity and imagination is a must.
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.
