Description

Helical is the AI-native lab for biology.
We turn biological foundation models into production systems for discovery—so scientists can run experiments in silico at the speed of inference.
We’re already deployed with top pharma, supporting work from target identification to biomarker discovery.

The Role

We’re hiring a Platform Engineer to build and scale the infrastructure behind our virtual AI lab.
This is a hands-on role:
debugging Kubernetes one moment, improving architecture the next, shipping to production throughout.
You’ll be working on the system that makes AI-driven drug discovery actually usable at scale.

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.
