Data Scientist and Python Software Developer - London
We're looking to recruit a Data Scientist and Python Software Developer with data science skills to join a product team that is focused on building well engineered products.
The products provide an intuitive way for retailers and suppliers to interact and consume 'big data' analytics to make better business decisions.
This role would consist of working together with a team of statistical analysts, understanding their methodologies and algorithms, and turning them into production ready code written in Python.
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.
