Director of Data Engineering | UK Remote

I'm currently partnering with a high-growth global SaaS business looking to appoint a Director of Data Engineering.

This is an opportunity to lead and evolve a modern data engineering function, driving strategy, governance, DataOps maturity, and the continued development of cloud data platforms that support a global business.

We're keen to speak with leaders who can combine strong technical credibility with excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

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.
