Software Research Engineer – Retrieval / Agentic AI / NLP / LLM

We are currently partnered with a research-driven technology organisation developing novel knowledge retrieval and agentic AI technologies. This role sits within a highly collaborative research and engineering environment, bridging AI research with production-grade software architecture and supporting the development of research prototypes and production-ready services.

Key responsibilities

  • Collaborate with researchers to design and develop high-quality research prototypes and production-ready services.
  • Bridge abstract AI research and production-grade software architecture.
  • Develop prototypes and production systems for next-generation knowledge retrieval and agentic AI technologies.
  • Work on technologies including hybrid GraphRAG with late interactions, knowledge agents, dynamic context compression, efficient agent memory, and goal and state management for long-horizon reasoning and planning.

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.
