Optimisation Engineer | Early-Stage AI Start-Up | London
Optimisation Engineer required to join an ambitious early-stage AI start-up in London, building intelligent systems to solve complex real-world operational problems.
You’ll take significant ownership of the company’s core optimisation technology, developing systems that make complex decisions dynamically as real-world conditions change. This is a highly technical role combining optimisation, algorithms, software engineering, and AI with the opportunity to see your work deployed into real operational environments.
You are:
- 3+ years of professional experience in applied optimisation, operations research, or a closely related field
- Strong in Python with solid software engineering fundamentals
- Experienced with constraint programming, mathematical optimisation, MIP, heuristics, or metaheuristics
- Comfortable developing optimisation systems that operate under complex real-world constraints
- Experienced taking technical or algorithmic systems beyond research and into production
- Highly autonomous and motivated by solving difficult, open-ended problems
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Bonus points:
- Experience with CP-SAT, OR-Tools, or similar optimisation tooling
- Experience with real-time or incremental optimisation
- Experience with scheduling, routing, resource allocation, or similar optimisation problems
- Experience combining machine learning / AI with optimisation
- Previous experience in a high-growth start-up or similarly fast-moving environment
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Why join:
- Own a technically challenging and business-critical optimisation problem
- Work at the intersection of optimisation, AI, and real-world systems
- Take significant ownership over technical decisions and direction
- See the technology you build directly impact real-world operations
- Join a small, high-calibre team tackling genuinely difficult engineering problems
If you’re an Optimisation Engineer who wants to solve complex problems beyond simulations and see your work operating in the real world, I’d love to hear from you.
