Founding Engineer (Quant Data Platform) | London | £100K to £200K + meaningful equity
I'm working with an early-stage, fast-moving fintech building an AI-native research and strategy platform for professional investors. They've recently secured funding and are hiring multiple founding engineers to help shape what comes next.
The product is in private beta and already has paying fund customers, with a wider public launch on the horizon. You'd join at the point where the foundations you build will carry the whole company.
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.
What you'll do
- Design and scale the data systems behind a platform handling years of market data across multiple asset classes
- Own both the infrastructure and the modelling logic that sit on top of it, from ingestion and validation through to research and backtesting tools
- Make sure data is clean, queryable and trustworthy, including the messy real-world cases like vendor changes, corporate actions and bad feeds
