Scale’s rapidly growing International Public Sector team is focused on using AI to address critical challenges facing the public sector around the world. Our core work consists of:

  • Creating custom AI applications that will impact millions of citizens
  • Generating high-quality training data for national LLMs
  • Upskilling and advisory services to spread the impact of AI

Our Scale Generative AI Platform (SGP) powers production-grade GenAI applications with foundational services, APIs, and infrastructure that accelerate adoption across industries. As more of these applications move from prototype to production, we are investing heavily in the core platform that enables this scale.

We are looking for a technical and strategic Engineering Manager to lead our Engineering efforts Internationally to power custom applications we build for our public sector clients. 

At Scale, we’re not just building AI solutions—we’re enabling the public sector to transform their operations and better serve citizens through cutting-edge technology. If you’re ready to shape the future of AI in the public sector and be a founding member of our team, we’d love to hear from you.

You will:

  • Manage the engineering team and drive technical delivery.
  • Design, build, and optimize backend services for advanced AI-driven applications, focusing on AI agents, evaluation tooling, and automation.
  • Comfortable working cross functionally, whether that be internal or external customers
  • Work across the entire product lifecycle from conceptualization through production
  • Build features end-to-end, system design, debugging and testing
  • Deliver experiments at a high velocity and level of quality to engage our customers
  • Influence the culture, values, and processes of a growing engineering team
  • Inspire and mentor engineers.
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new product features and experiences

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.
