Lead Applied Scientist | Document Understanding • Search • Information Retrieval | London or Switzerland

If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of NLP, Search and Generative AI, this is an opportunity to work on problems that genuinely haven't been solved at scale.

You'll join a world-class AI research organisation building the document understanding layer that powers next-generation AI search, retrieval and reasoning systems used by millions of professionals globally.

We're hiring across Applied Scientist, Senior Applied Scientist and Lead Applied Scientist levels, so whether you're an established researcher looking to step into technical leadership or already operating as a recognised technical authority, I'd love to speak with you.

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.
