Do you want to work on AI and modelling systems that influence real-world operational decisions in some of the UK's most secure environments?

An opportunity to join a fast-growing, Series A-funded scale-up where you'll have genuine ownership of cutting-edge modelling capability from day one?

This is the opportunity to work on a AI operating system built for secure environments where trust, explainability and performance matter. Working across government and commercial programmes, you'll help build a brand-new modelling and optimisation capability that takes complex scientific concepts from prototype through to production.

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.
