Data Engineer Opportunity at a Hedge Fund
Big tech is fragile and the career outlook right now is very uncertain. What about working at a hedge fund where their growth is almost certain?
This data engineering team hired multiple people last year – most from big-tech – and plan to do the same this year.
About the Role
A large portion of your work will technically be non-finance, with the main finance focused work completed by other teams. The real-world, complex data engineering problems are all yours.
You’ll be joining a team that builds and has built thousands of ingestion pipelines, with data coming from every single potential avenue it possibly can. To get the best understanding of an investment, all data points are considered. You’ll bring the data into the business, build the data infrastructure around it and deliver the data to the right person in the business to build their investment models.
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.
Tech Stack
Tech is also completely flexible. Most of the work is done within Python. Snowflake is widely used, as are Docker and Kubernetes for containerisation. ETL and ELT tech are also used every day, primarily Airflow, Spark, Hive and a lot more.
Requirements
You’ll need to come from a strong academic background with some commercial experience in a data heavy software or data engineering role. Financial experience of some kind would be a huge plus, but absolutely not a requirement. Experience with as much of the tech stack above is preferred and most likely, but you don’t need experience with all. Picking up new tech will be part of your job.

This is a $60 billion plus fund, where being at the cutting edge of technology in general, let alone finance, is key for them. With this amount of ambition, it’s why their bonuses can be some of the biggest in the industry. First year total compensation could be as high as £200,000 and this has the potential to get better year on year, based on your performance.
Location
London-based, four to five days in the office, working side by side with the team and close to key decisions.
Benefits
When in the office you have a fully catered canteen with a Michelin standard chef, barista coffee, a gym and more.
