My client, a leading US-based discretionary hedge fund, is seeking a strong Data Engineer to join their London team.

This role sits within a front-office technology environment, focused on building and maintaining high-quality data infrastructure that supports trading, research, and portfolio analytics across a multi-asset platform.

You will play a key role in developing scalable data pipelines and ensuring reliable access to clean, well-structured data used by portfolio managers, analysts, and technologists. The position offers strong ownership across the full data lifecycle, from ingestion through to delivery in production systems.

Working within a collaborative and high-impact team, you will partner closely with both technical and business stakeholders to improve data quality, accessibility, and overall platform robustness.

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.
