Senior Data/AI Engineer
Location: Farringdon, London (hybrid, one to two days a week in the office)
I'm working with a fast-growing fintech and AI consultancy, working with some of the most demanding names in financial services, who are looking for a senior engineer to help lead how they build and ship AI systems that hold up under real regulatory scrutiny.
This isn't a "move fast and clean it up later" environment. Their clients are asset managers, investment banks and pension schemes, so any AI output needs to be accurate, explainable and something they can confidently put their name behind. If that kind of problem excites you more than it scares you, keep reading.
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 you'd own:
- Technical direction on data and AI engineering across live client projects
- Architecture decisions that need to survive contact with regulators, not just demos
- Mentoring more junior engineers and shaping how the team works
- Real input into how they build out their AI/data practice, not just executing someone else's roadmap
What we're looking for:
- Strong, hands on Python skills used day to day in a production environment
- Solid experience working with LLM APIs: prompt design, context management and evaluating AI outputs for accuracy and reliability
- Exposure to cloud infrastructure, ideally Microsoft Azure
- Comfortable with SQL and data modelling; some backend development experience is a plus
- Comfortable working in regulated or high stakes environments; financial services experience is a strong plus
- Someone who can operate with genuine autonomy and doesn't need heavy process to do good work
- A track record of technical leadership, even informally
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What's in it for you:
- Equity, a genuine stake in the business, not a token gesture
- The chance to build something at an early enough stage that your decisions actually matter
- A small, senior team with no layers of management to fight through to get things done
