The role
The next generation of AI learns through experience, not just static datasets. This lab builds interactive, resettable digital environments where AI agents navigate software, complete tasks, fail, and improve. Data here is a fundamental input to how those AI systems and training environments get built, not a supporting analytics function.
You'll join the Platform team, a data specialisation within software engineering, not a separate analytics silo. This is end-to-end ownership: framing, architecture, implementation, and production operation for the core data problem. You won't inherit a mature platform or be handed detailed specs; you'll shape foundational systems and own the outcomes.
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.
The work
- Design and build scalable systems for acquiring, ingesting, and integrating large, messy, and varied datasets.
- Develop robust validation, sanitisation, and PII-removal layers to ensure data safety and quality.
- Tackle complex data problems: duplication, corruption, inconsistent formats, and provenance.
- Make critical architectural decisions across storage, reliability, observability, security, and cost.
- Ensure reliable, high-quality data availability for AI training environment engineers.
What You Bring
- Built and operated substantial production data systems end-to-end, owning architecture, implementation, and production behaviour.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals; deeply hands-on with code, beyond configuring tools.
- Experience with large, complex, or messy datasets (unstructured text, web, machine-generated data), and can articulate the challenges.
- Sound judgement across storage, processing, reliability, scalability, and cost; able to discuss trade-offs.
- Comfortable with cloud infrastructure and debugging complex production systems.
