The role bridges engineering and operations, enabling robust data ingestion, transformation, and monitoring to meet regulatory and internal compliance requirements. The Data Ops Engineer will play a critical role in collaborating with upstream teams to ensure data completeness, accuracy, and timeliness is as expected and that any data completeness or quality issues are visible.

The role will also work on other Surveillance data initiatives such as persisting Surveillance Alerts in the firm’s data lake for analytics purposes.

Role Responsibilities

  • Design, build, maintain and optimise end-to-end data pipelines and workflows between the source data points and target destinations, working with the wider Surveillance Technology team to prioritise automation, scalability and strategy at the heart of the design.
  • Implement automated data completeness and quality checks, validation rules, and reconciliation processes to ensure accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of the data ingested and to make visible any data that is not processed.
  • Identify Critical Data Elements and implement failover and recovery strategies for the respective Data Flows.
  • Build AWS infrastructure using Terraform or CDK.
  • Write unit, integration, and infrastructure tests.
  • Monitor, investigate and resolve data anomalies through collaboration with, Business Analysts, Developers, and Testers across functions and verticals.
  • Implement data management and governance frameworks to ensure data is ingested and loaded per the requirements of the consuming platform; Scila for Trade Surveillance, and Global Relay for Communications Surveillance.
  • Partnering with the Data Strategy and Data Infrastructure team to ensure Data Lineage, auditability and retention policies are enforced across all necessary pipelines.
  • Ensuring that Data consumed and processed is compliance with regulatory, legal, and security protocols.
  • Work closely with surveillance analysts, compliance officers, and engineering teams to translate business rules into technical specifications.
  • Partnering closely with stakeholders and subject matter experts such as the Cloud Infrastructure team to optimise performance and costs.

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.
