Data Engineering Lead

West London | Hybrid, 3 days per week onsite
Up to £90,000 + up to 40% bonus

We’re working with a large, established organisation that is investing heavily in the modernisation of its data platform and is looking for a Data Engineering Lead to play a key role in that transformation. This is a hands-on leadership position where you’ll take ownership of the design and delivery of scalable data solutions while leading and developing a team of 4-6 Data Engineers. You’ll be joining at an exciting stage as the business continues its move from legacy, on-premise infrastructure towards a modern, cloud-native data environment.

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.
