We believe organisations can make better decisions when they have a clearer understanding of what is happening in the world.

We have built an AI platform that uses global social data and signals to change how decisions are modelled within organisations. Following our Series A, we’re ready to take the technology to its next level and we’re looking for a Lead Platform Engineer to help us build the foundations to make that possible.

We work with organisations in the financial sector, where security, privacy and control over infrastructure are fundamental requirements. Our technology must operate reliably across AWS and secure on-prem environments, making this a central part of the role rather than an occasional infrastructure challenge.

You will work with a team of 40+ engineers and AI specialists, defining how our platform is designed, secured, deployed and scaled.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Owning our platform and infrastructure strategy
  • Designing and operating infrastructure across AWS and on-prem environments
  • Building and operating secure, production-grade Kubernetes environments
  • Building secure and scalable foundations for data-heavy AI products
  • Supporting deployments within financial, regulated and security-sensitive environments
  • Establishing infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD and automation standards
  • Strengthening security, observability, resilience and operational readiness
  • Enabling our software, data and AI teams to move faster
  • Developing our platform engineering capability as we grow

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.
