Join us as a Machine Learning Engineer
You’ll lead, drive and embed the deployment, automation, maintenance and monitoring of machine learning models and algorithms to make sure that they work effectively in a production environment. We’ll look to you to understand the complex requirements and needs of business stakeholders, developing strong relationships, and how machine learning solutions can meet those needs to achieve business strategy goals.
This is a high-profile role that offers considerable exposure as well as the opportunity to make a significant impact. You'll work from home some of the time, but you'll also spend a minimum of two days per week working from the office.
What you'll do
This key role will see you working collaboratively with colleagues to productionise machine learning models including pipeline design and development, testing and deployment ensuring that the original intent and knowledge is carried over to production. You’ll create frameworks to ensure robust monitoring of machine learning models within production environment making sure these models are delivering expected quality and performance.
We’ll look to you to identify and communicate the actions needed to implement the function's strategy and business plan within the business area and explain the relationship to the broader organisation's mission, vision and values followed by motivating people to achieve local business goals.
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.
