Senior Research Engineer – AI & Machine Learning

We’re looking for a Senior Research Engineer to lead engineering efforts across ambitious AI research projects, working at the intersection of applied AI, fundamental research, and semiconductor innovation. This is an opportunity to work on challenging problems across areas including Large Language Models (LLMs), deep learning optimisation, reinforcement learning, and generative AI, helping turn cutting-edge research into scalable, robust engineering solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Lead engineering efforts on complex AI and machine learning research projects.
  • Design, implement, and optimise ML algorithms and research systems.
  • Improve the scalability, performance, and robustness of research prototypes and infrastructure.
  • Work closely with researchers to translate research objectives into high-quality engineering solutions.
  • Help drive research into AI-powered semiconductor design and optimisation.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance across the team.
  • Contribute to technical publications, research documentation, and knowledge sharing.
  • Build and continuously improve research infrastructure, tooling, and engineering workflows.
  • Stay current with the latest developments in AI, ML, and engineering best practices.

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.
