A high-growth SaaS business with a strong financial backing that sits at the heart of the UK energy market - building the cloud-native platform that powers billing, financial settlement and data infrastructure for some of the country's largest energy suppliers.

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.
We're looking for a technical leader who can hold their own in architectural conversations with senior ICs and thinks 12-24 months ahead - not just the current sprint ahead.
Management Experience
You've managed teams of Data and Analytics Engineers - not just led projects, but developed people, handled dysfunction, built culture. You understand why the data matters, not just how to move it. You're energized by the idea of commercialising data as a product. And you thrive with autonomy in a remote-first environment.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll be leading a team of 10-12, split into 2 squads - Analytics Engineering and Data Engineering.

- Deep expertise in cloud data platforms, particularly Databricks and AWS
- Advanced experience using Spark, including performance tuning at scale
- Data ingestion, orchestration, streaming and batch pipelines
- Proven experience implementing data governance, security and access frameworks
