We're working with an exciting AI software company developing advanced machine learning products that solve complex, real-world problems. They are looking for a technical leader to bridge research and engineering, taking cutting-edge models from experimentation into robust production systems.
The Role
- Own the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle, including data pipelines, model training, evaluation, inference and deployment.
- Fine-tune and optimise large language models using modern techniques such as LoRA, QLoRA, supervised fine-tuning, preference optimisation and model distillation.
- Design scalable inference infrastructure with a focus on latency, reliability and operational efficiency.
- Build and maintain high-quality data pipelines for both synthetic and real-world datasets.
- Develop robust evaluation frameworks covering model quality, robustness, safety and performance.
- Lead technical delivery, mentor engineers and help shape engineering best practices.
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.
