My client, a leading private equity firm, is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer to join their Investment Team in London.
This is a unique opportunity to join a newly established engineering function embedded directly within the investment team. You'll work alongside investment professionals to design, build and deploy AI-powered applications that enhance every stage of the investment lifecycle - from due diligence and financial model validation to investment committee preparation and portfolio monitoring. This is a hands-on delivery role focused on building production-grade tools that become integral to the day-to-day workflow of investment teams.
What You'll Do:
- Partner directly with investment professionals to understand workflows and translate them into production-ready AI applications
- Build and maintain AI-powered diligence tools, financial model review solutions, investment committee memo generators, and portfolio monitoring dashboards
- Develop production-grade Python applications using modern LLM technologies, including RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, and evaluation frameworks
- Own delivery from initial scoping through deployment, iteration, and ongoing maintenance
- Collaborate closely with a central AI engineering function to improve shared tooling, governance, and reusable components
- Ensure solutions are robust, well-tested, and trusted in high-stakes investment decision-making environments
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who You Are:
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building production applications
- Strong Python and SQL skills, with experience developing maintainable, production-quality software
- Hands-on experience building and deploying LLM-powered applications, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agentic workflows, and evaluation frameworks
- Experience working closely with financial, commercial, or investment professionals in an embedded, consulting, or product engineering capacity
- Strong understanding of software delivery, stakeholder management, and working within ambiguous, fast-paced environments
- Familiarity with financial services, private equity, investment banking, or fintech is advantageous, with sufficient financial acumen to understand investment workflows and identify inconsistencies in AI-generated outputs
