I’m working with a long-established, growing technology business looking for a Data Science / Machine Learning Engineering Lead to take ownership of a key part of their platform.
This is a role for someone who sits between ML engineering, data science, and technical leadership. Someone who still enjoys getting into the detail of models and architecture but also loves building teams, mentoring people, and turning technical vision into something that gets delivered.
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.
You’ll be joining a team working on complex data problems at scale, including:
- Building and improving production machine learning models
- Owning the full ML lifecycle, from development through to deployment, monitoring, and optimisation
- Working with large-scale streaming data environments
- Helping shape technical direction and platform strategy
- Leading and developing a talented team across ML Engineering, Data Science, and Data Engineering
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
They’re looking for someone with:
- Strong commercial Machine Learning experience
- Python experience
- Recent experience with Apache Spark
- Experience building and deploying ML models in production
- A track record of leading and developing engineers/data scientists
Databricks experience would be beneficial, but strong fundamentals and the ability to pick up new technologies are key.
If you’re a technically strong ML leader who wants genuine ownership over how a platform evolves, I’d love to chat.
