Contract Length: 12 Months
Full-time: 40 hours per week
About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Research Engineer to join a world-class AI research organisation focused on advancing the next generation of artificial intelligence systems. This role offers a rare opportunity to work at the forefront of machine learning research, helping develop cutting-edge technologies that push the boundaries of large language models, reinforcement learning, synthetic data generation, and multi-agent systems.
The successful candidate will be deeply embedded within a highly collaborative research team, contributing directly to both scientific discovery and the engineering infrastructure required to accelerate AI innovation at scale.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct cutting-edge research to advance machine learning systems and AI technologies.
- Design and develop methods, tools, and infrastructure that improve the performance and capabilities of large language models.
- Build and maintain robust experimentation environments, research frameworks, and AI development pipelines.
- Create reinforcement learning environments and generate synthetic data to improve model performance.
- Research and develop multi-agent systems that enable collaborative AI workflows.
- Partner closely with researchers, engineers, and cross-functional stakeholders to define research priorities and translate findings into impactful outcomes.
- Communicate research plans, progress, and results clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Develop production-quality code and support the deployment of research innovations.
- Contribute to publications, technical reports, and research initiatives where applicable.
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.
