About the company

We are a London-based, early-stage AI lab building AI systems that help scientists learn from real-world experimentation and accelerate the path to commercially valuable materials. Our mission is to combine machine learning, automation and deep domain expertise to solve hard scientific problems with real-world impact.

We are a small, ambitious team bringing together strong ML, engineering and materials science capability. We value pace, rigour, curiosity and low ego, and we want people who are energised by working on focused problems where their contribution is visible from day one. We offer a flexible hybrid working model, regular collaboration in London, and an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds are welcomed and supported.

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.

What the job entails

As a Research Scientist, Machine Learning, you will own research problems at the intersection of modelling, reasoning and experiment automation. Your work will help power an AI-driven discovery engine by improving how the system learns from sparse, noisy and high-dimensional scientific data.

  • Design and prototype novel ML approaches
  • Develop active learning and optimisation methods that decide which experiments should run next
  • Work closely with materials scientists and chemists to translate scientific constraints into rigorous mathematical models and loss functions
  • Take ideas from theory through to proof-of-concept
  • Establish strong baselines
  • Partner with engineers to scale successful approaches into production
