Are you a Data Engineer with hands-on experience delivering enterprise data migration solutions? Our client - a fast-scaling European digital infrastructure provider with 100+ sites across the continent - is looking for a Data Engineer to join a major transformation programme consolidating multiple operational systems into a single target platform.
You'll be at the centre of the migration workstream: building the pipelines, transformation logic, and validation frameworks that move data from legacy systems into the new target operating platform - working closely with the Data Workstream Lead, business SMEs, and application teams.
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.

- Owning data validation, reconciliation, and defect resolution through migration test cycles
- Building reusable migration frameworks - ingestion pipelines, validation routines, error-handling
