Founding Azure Platform Engineer, Commodities Pricing and Analytics | London
A rare chance to become the first platform engineering hire at a new, independent commodities price-reporting business.
You’ll build the Azure cloud platform from scratch and create the trusted data foundation behind globally assessed commodities prices. This is not generic data engineering: the core challenge is building immutable, fully evidenced data pipelines so every published price can be reproduced, traced and defended.
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.
