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.

Optimisation AI Scientist

We are hiring an Optimisation AI Scientist to own the technical delivery of Pigment's solver pilot programme and build the foundations of a production-grade optimisation capability - moving customers from descriptive planning to prescriptive, solver-driven decision-making.

This role is partially customer-facing: leading and shaping the formulation of each client's optimisation problem, directly involved in implementations.

What you will do:

  • Formulate supply chain optimisation problems as rigorous mathematical models - objective functions, costs, penalties, and constraints
  • Configure and run optimisation models for customer pilots and implementation, and support Solutions Architects in delivering results and debriefs
  • Build and run Python models against third-party solvers across multiple dataset scales, and benchmark results across use cases
  • Work with Engineering and Data Science leads to define the path to production-grade solver integration and customer specific implementations within Pigment's architecture
  • Engage technically with solver vendor teams during partnership evaluation

Who you are and what you can do:

  • Demonstrable experience formulating and solving optimisation problems for real-world operational use cases
  • Proficiency in Python with hands-on experience in a major solver library (Gurobi, OR-Tools, CPLEX, HiGHS, or equivalent)
  • Experience with supply chain/operations data — SKUs, BOMs, capacity constraints, service levels, lead times, inventory targets etc.
  • Understanding of core OR techniques: branch-and-bound, LP relaxation, constraint programming, sensitivity analysis
  • Degree in Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Industrial Engineering, CS, or related field (MS/PhD advantageous)
