🚀 Senior Data Engineer | Stealth AI Start-Up | London | Up to £150k

Oliver Bernard are currently partnered with one of the most exciting stealth start-ups in London, building the infrastructure behind the next generation of AI.

They’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to take real ownership of complex, data-intensive engineering problems, from large-scale ingestion and processing through to data quality, security, provenance and reliable production systems.

This is not a traditional Data Engineering role. You’ll work across Data, Platform, Software and AI, helping build foundational infrastructure from the ground up.

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.
