You’ll be part of our Data team, working with real-time telemetry streams from hundreds of devices worldwide.
This role involves crafting scalable, reliable, and observable systems that support diverse use cases—AI/ML, product development, operational insights, and clinical research. We prioritise clean code, collaboration, and accountability for long-term impact.
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
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
