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.

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.

You will be involved in every stage of the development process, from initial brainstorming to ongoing maintenance, with a primary emphasis on analysis, prototyping, and development. Our development process is a dynamic blend of agile and rapid prototyping methodologies, designed to foster a culture of "flexibility under responsibility." We prioritize focused development time and believe in the power of collaborative problem-solving, encouraging team members to both seek and offer assistance readily.

Your profile

We welcome candidates with a solid background in data analysis or software development, seeking professionals with proven experience or recent graduates. Regardless of your background, a crucial element is your intellectual curiosity, self-motivation, and a demonstrable ability to translate real-world challenges into data models, ETL processes, algorithms, and ultimately, functional code. A strong interest in data engineering and/or the AdTech domain, along with its associated technologies, is highly desirable, as well as knowledge of object-oriented programming languages, particularly Scala.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • A strong academic background in a quantitative field (Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or related disciplines).
  • Hands-on experience in designing, building, and maintaining scalable and reliable data pipelines.
  • Proficiency in Python, Scala or other OOP languages for data engineering and processing tasks.
  • Strong data analysis skills, including working with large datasets.
  • Knowledge of distributed data processing for batch workloads.
  • Solid understanding of database technologies.

Desired Qualifications:

  • 2-3 years of experience with Scala for data processing.
  • Strong software engineering skills, including experience with CI/CD pipelines and best coding practices.
  • Familiarity with data integrations and efficient data transfers.
  • Knowledge of data modeling, data warehousing concepts, and query optimization techniques.
  • Experience with distributed data processing using Apache Spark.
  • Experience with Airflow for workflow orchestration, scheduling, and monitoring data pipelines.
  • Cloud expertise, particularly AWS, including services such as S3, Glue, Athena and EMR.

You approach problems with an analytical mindset and a pragmatic approach to solution development. You are a creative thinker, capable of identifying opportunities and weaknesses in proposed solutions, and constructively contributing with your own ideas. You thrive in a dynamic environment, adept at juggling multiple projects and connecting them with underlying data. You recognize that exploring new facets of data often yields greater insights than fine-tuning algorithmic parameters. You are equally comfortable implementing and optimizing solutions, and you are eager to tackle new challenges.
