Machine Learning Engineer – Fraud Detection
Contract: 6 months
Engagement: Inside IR35
Location: Fully remote, with occasional travel to the London office.
The Role
We're looking for an experienced Machine Learning Engineer to help scale and optimise our production fraud detection platform.
Working alongside Data Scientists and Software Engineers, you'll build, deploy and continuously improve machine learning solutions that detect fraud in real time. You'll be responsible for taking analytical improvements into production, ensuring models remain scalable, performant and measurable.
You'll play a key role in evolving the engineering capabilities behind our fraud detection platform while contributing to improvements in model accuracy and operational performance.
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.
