Data Scientist (Masters)

Data Scientist (Masters) — AI Data Trainer

About The Role

What if your deep knowledge of machine learning, statistical inference, and data engineering could directly shape how the world's most advanced AI systems reason and problem-solve?

We're looking for data scientists with graduate-level expertise to help train and evaluate cutting-edge AI models. You'll design complex technical challenges, author rigorous solutions, and audit AI-generated code — exposing model weaknesses and pushing the boundaries of what AI can reason through.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role. No prior AI experience needed — just a strong command of data science and a sharp eye for technical precision.

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.
