Sterlings are working partnered with an AI-driven financial intelligence company who are looking for a Data Platform Engineer with around 2–4 years’ commercial experience to help build and maintain the cloud-based data platform behind the company’s products.

The role combines Python development, AWS, data engineering, orchestration, DevOps and platform reliability.

You don’t need experience with every technology listed, but should have strong fundamentals and hands-on experience across several areas of modern data platform engineering.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Build and maintain scalable data platforms and pipelines using Python and AWS.
  • Develop reliable data ingestion, processing and transformation workflows.
  • Work with orchestration tools such as Airflow.
  • Build and maintain cloud infrastructure, APIs and containerised services.
  • Develop CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Docker.
  • Work with databases and data platforms including PostgreSQL, RDS, Redshift, Glue, Iceberg and Athena.
  • Implement monitoring, logging and observability using CloudWatch, Grafana and Prometheus.
  • Troubleshoot production issues and improve platform reliability, performance and scalability.
  • Work closely with engineering and AI teams to integrate new data sources and platform capabilities.

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.
