Productivity Metrics Engineer (Contract)
6-Month Contract | Up to £850/day inside IR35 | Onsite (4 days for 3 weeks and 5 days for 1 week) | London
I'm working with a leading quantitative technology organisation that's looking for a Productivity Metrics Engineer to join its Engineering Tools function on an initial 6-month contract.
This is an opportunity to build tooling that helps engineering teams better understand how software is delivered at scale. You'll be responsible for developing integrations that collect and ingest engineering metadata from multiple internal systems, creating reusable libraries, and enabling accurate developer productivity metrics across a complex technology estate.
What you'll be doing
- Building integrations that extract data from engineering platforms and internal tooling.
- Developing reusable libraries and APIs to standardise data ingestion into a central data platform.
- Designing scalable integration layers capable of handling multiple data sources and evolving schemas.
- Working closely with engineering teams to onboard new systems and deliver well-documented, production-ready extractors.
- Building observability into integrations to ensure data quality, reliability and confidence in reported metrics.
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.
