Summary of the Role:
As a Senior ML Engineer, you'll be the technical leader driving machine learning infrastructure from experimentation to production, ensuring AI-powered solutions deliver measurable impact for customers worldwide. This is a unique opportunity to join as one of the early engineering team members of a well-funded startup building breakthrough applications of large language models (LLMs) and AI agents.
You'll take full ownership of evaluation frameworks, production ML pipelines, and cross-team ML integration, working closely with company leadership and product teams to transform cutting-edge AI research into robust, scalable solutions. Your success will be measured by agent performance improvements and product innovation impact, not just technical metrics. This role is ideal for a hands-on ML engineer who has scaled production ML systems, thinks like a product builder, and wants to drive the productionization of LLMs and ML to solve real-world problems.
Your Contributions:
- Build Production-Grade Evaluation Systems: Design and implement evaluation frameworks that measure performance, track improvements, and ensure consistent value delivery.
- Drive Experimentation-to-Production Pipeline: Own the ML lifecycle from prototype to production, enabling rapid iteration while maintaining reliability.
- Enable Cross-Team ML Integration: Collaborate with product teams to integrate ML into customer-facing features.
- Optimize AI Agent Performance: Improve systems through experimentation, prompt engineering, and architecture enhancements.
- Scale ML Infrastructure: Develop foundational systems, monitoring, and tooling to support rapid growth.
- Partner with Leadership: Work closely with senior leadership while operating with high autonomy.
- Mentor Through Excellence: Provide guidance and mentorship to junior ML engineers.
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.
