Research that doesn't stay in a lab.
We're partnering with one of the UK's most recognised organisations as they build a world-class applied AI research capability.
This isn't a role focused on publishing papers that never leave the whiteboard. It's an opportunity to shape how millions of people interact with AI through products that solve genuine, real-world problems.
You'll join a newly formed research team exploring the next generation of Generative AI, helping define the technical direction for large-scale customer-facing AI products. You'll work alongside AI engineers, product leaders, and senior stakeholders to turn cutting-edge research into production systems.
If you're someone who enjoys asking "what should we build next?" rather than simply "how do we build this?", we'd love to speak with you.
What you'll be doing
- Research and evaluate the latest advances in Generative AI and foundation models.
- Design rigorous experiments to determine what genuinely works in production.
- Explore emerging techniques including:
- Large Language Models (LLMs)
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
- Agentic AI
- Multimodal AI
- Lead research into model selection, fine-tuning, and evaluation strategies.
- Translate complex customer and business problems into AI research challenges.
- Prototype new AI capabilities alongside engineering and product teams.
- Influence the long-term AI strategy of a major organisation.
- Define quality, safety, and evaluation frameworks before solutions reach production.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to productionise research into scalable products.
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 we're looking for
We're interested in people who combine deep technical expertise with curiosity and commercial thinking.
You'll likely have experience with:
- Deep learning and modern machine learning architectures.
- Training, adapting, or evaluating foundation models.
- LLMs and Generative AI research.
- Experimental design and statistical evaluation.
- Python and modern ML frameworks.
- Reading and applying the latest AI research.
- Building or influencing production AI systems.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We're open to exceptional candidates from industry or academia, particularly those who enjoy solving difficult research problems with measurable real-world impact.
What makes this different?
This organisation isn't looking for someone to simply implement existing AI techniques. They're looking for researchers who can:
- Identify the next opportunity before everyone else.
- Challenge existing approaches with evidence.
- Influence technical strategy.
- Bring original ideas to the table.
- Help shape AI products that will be used at significant scale.
You'll have the freedom to explore, experiment, and influence direction while working closely with experienced engineering and product teams to ensure research delivers tangible value.
