Role: Senior Forward Deployed Engineer (Energy)
Location: London, UK
Type: Permanent
Job Description
We've had strong results with a profile that blends hands-on software/data engineering with direct client delivery - someone who embeds with a client team, understands their commercial problem, and builds and ships the tooling to solve it. We want more of this, at a senior / lead level: someone who can own the client relationship, scope ambiguous problems independently, and guide more junior engineers, not just execute a defined spec.
A computational scientist / forward deployed engineer who can move fluidly between data pipelines, backend logic, optimization/simulation, and client-facing dashboards - and deploy it all to production. The defining trait is the combination of genuine engineering depth with the maturity to sit in front of clients, translate evolving stakeholder needs into features, and drive delivery.
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
