Senior Python Engineer - AI & Automation (contract)

Senior Python Engineer x3 - AI & Automation

Hybrid | Financial Services | £450-£650 per day (inside IR35)

Build AI solutions that make a real impact.

We're working with a technology consultancy that's helping some of the biggest organisations in financial services modernise the way they operate through AI and intelligent automation. They're investing heavily in this area and are looking for an experienced Python Engineer to play a key role in designing and delivering scalable automation solutions that solve genuine business problems—not just proof of concepts.

If you enjoy building robust software, experimenting with the latest AI technologies and seeing your work deployed into production, this could be the role for you.

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.
