🚀 Lead Data Engineer | London | Hybrid
Are you a Data Engineer who wants more than just building and maintaining pipelines?
I’m working with a high-growth, technology-led business that is investing heavily in data and building a brand-new data platform to transform how data is collected, managed and used across the organisation.
They’re looking for a Lead Data Engineer to play a key role in shaping that platform from the ground up.
🏗️ What you’ll be doing
This is a genuinely hands-on role, but with plenty of opportunity to influence the bigger picture. You’ll be:
- Designing and building data pipelines across multiple layers of a new data platform
- Working closely with stakeholders to understand data requirements and turn them into technical solutions
- Helping shape the infrastructure supporting the platform
- Establishing engineering standards, patterns and best practices
- Working across data cleansing, migration, modelling and transformation
- Supporting governance and providing technical guidance around data
- Identifying new opportunities to improve how data is used across the business
- Helping define the future direction of the organisation’s data capabilities
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.
