Founding MLOps & Data Engineer - London (4 days on site)

A venture-backed AI startup that's using machine learning to solve one of the biggest challenges in the mining industry are looking for a Founding MLOps & Data Engineer to build the infrastructure that takes cutting-edge ML into production.

What will I be doing?

  • Own the company's MLOps and data engineering strategy from the ground up.
  • Build scalable data pipelines and production ML infrastructure.
  • Develop reproducible, versioned, and auditable machine learning workflows.
  • Work closely with ML researchers to productionise new models.
  • Collaborate with product engineers to integrate ML into customer-facing applications.
  • Shape the architecture of the ML platform as the company grows, with plenty of autonomy to influence technical decisions.

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.
