(AI) Lead Data Engineer

Fix complex data problems that actually matter

We’re hiring a (AI) Lead Data Engineer to join a growing enterprise data capability in a hands-on technical leadership role — no line management.

You’ll work across legacy systems and modern cloud, tackling real-world complexity and delivering robust, production-grade data solutions.

🔍 Why this role?

This is about doing, not directing. You’ll lead through technical credibility, problem-solving, and delivery — not hierarchy.

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.
