Principal Data Engineer

£650 per day | Outside IR35 | 3 Month Contract | Remote UK

(Very occasional travel to Leeds if you can)

Brio Digital are working with a major UK organisation embarking on a strategic data transformation project to modernise a business-critical operational platform.

The project focuses on replacing manual, spreadsheet-driven processes with a scalable, cloud-native solution that will automate high-volume invoicing and operational workflows used across the business. This is a greenfield MVP with the potential to expand into a much larger programme of work.

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.
