Senior Python Engineer with strong FastAPI experience wanted by an exciting AI technology company building next-generation simulation and digital twin software

This Senior Python Engineer role is with a scaleup offering a great opportunity to help shape the core platform powering enterprise-scale AI products.

This will see you designing and building production-grade Python services that sit at the heart of a modern platform architecture which sits on AWS. You'll own FastAPI services, design scalable Postgres data models and build the APIs that other engineering teams rely on across the business.

As a Senior Python Engineer, you'll also work closely with Product, DevOps and Software Engineering teams, helping to improve platform performance, reliability and scalability while mentoring other developers and contributing to technical direction.

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.
