You will work hands-on with Databricks, Python and SQL, developing and enhancing a modern Bronze/Silver/Gold medallion architecture. A key focus will be improving data quality through robust automated controls, validation and exception reporting.

Working closely with analysts, developers and business stakeholders, you will turn data requirements into reliable, scalable and maintainable data products.

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.
