Position Overview
This is a Full-time Junior Software Engineering position for candidates early in their career who are interested in infrastructure, systems, and machine learning platforms at scale.
As a Junior Engineer, you will contribute to production ML/HPC infrastructure, working alongside experienced engineers and quantitative researchers. You will gradually take ownership of components and features, learn how large-scale systems are designed and operated in practice, and contribute production-quality code that directly supports research and trading workloads.
This role is designed to offer strong mentorship while encouraging increasing autonomy and technical ownership over time.
As part of the team, you will work on some of the following:
- Design, implement, and maintain data pipelines for machine learning training and inference.
- Develop and improve workflow orchestration and infrastructure components (e.g. scheduling, resource allocation, data movement, filesystems).
- Analyze and improve performance and scalability of systems and critical code paths.
- Improve the reliability, observability, and usability of ML or HPC platforms.
- Collaborate with quantitative researchers and developers to understand requirements and translate them into robust technical solutions.
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.
