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.
You’ll work with a broad mix of market, economic, research, news and internal datasets, turning fragmented and often messy information into clean, reliable and model-ready data.
You’ll also help shape the wider data architecture, including:
- Production ETL/ELT pipelines
- Bronze, silver and gold data layers
- Data quality and validation
- Instrument and ticker mapping
- Metadata and lineage
- Monitoring and observability
- Entitlements and permissions
- APIs and structured datasets for downstream applications
What We’re Looking For
Strong experience with:
- Python and SQL
- Production data engineering and ETL/ELT
- Modern cloud data platforms such as Azure, Databricks, Delta Lake or Snowflake
- Large, complex or time-series datasets
- Data quality, monitoring and reliability
- Designing clean datasets for downstream users, applications and models
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience with financial market or ticker-level data, including technologies such as kdb+, would be a strong advantage.
Why This Role?
This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of financial markets, AI, quantitative research and modern data engineering.
You won’t be joining a large infrastructure team with narrow responsibilities. You’ll have direct exposure to the people consuming the data, significant technical ownership, and the opportunity to influence the foundations of a growing AI and quant platform.
Ideal for someone who wants to build rather than simply maintain.
