Senior Application Engineer – Applied ML / HPC
I'm hiring for a Senior Application Engineer – Applied ML / HPC on behalf of a client, a deep-tech company commercializing quantum-enhanced computing for AI and optimization workloads, already live with customers running real hybrid quantum-classical systems in production settings.
This is a high-impact, customer-facing technical role, not a back-office solutions job. You'd own the technical side of the sales motion end-to-end: building demos, writing architectures and technical blueprints, running proof-of-concept engagements, and being the credible technical voice in the room that moves deals through the funnel.
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.
What makes this a great next step:
- High autonomy, you shape how technical opportunities get qualified and won, not just execute a script
- Direct exposure to HPC, ML/optimization, and enterprise customers across chemistry, pharma, energy, finance, and defense
- Genuine career runway: as the team scales, there's a real path to owning a region (US/EU/Asia) or growing into a self-funding, more commercial track
- Small motivated team, high visibility, your work directly shapes product roadmap and go-to-market

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What you need:
- Pre-sales experience in deep-tech or high-tech (Quantum, HPC, etc), comfortable owning targeted, technical conversations with customers, not just supporting a rep.
- Hands-on technical credibility: able to build and run demos and PoCs yourself, set up environments, and speak fluently about distributed/industrial computing
- Background in HPC, ML, or optimization environments, Python proficiency expected, but this isn't a heads-down engineering role
- Experience training or optimizing ML systems.
