Senior Data Engineer - Payments - London (1 day onsite)

A fast-growing fintech business transforming how companies move money internationally through a modern payments platform is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join their team.

What Will I Be Doing:

  • Design, build, and optimise scalable ETL/ELT pipelines within a modern Databricks environment.
  • Develop and maintain workflow orchestration, monitoring, alerting, and data quality controls.
  • Integrate external platforms and APIs into the wider data ecosystem.
  • Collaborate with Data, Engineering, Finance, Marketing, and BI teams to deliver commercially impactful data products.
  • Contribute to AI initiatives, platform architecture, and the ongoing evolution of the company's data strategy.

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.
