The role

This isn’t a regular job. We’re a bootstrapped company with significant traction, already one of Europe's fastest-growing. We’re redefining marketing, rewarding a massive community of users for engaging with products, and offering a novel approach to user acquisition for major global brands. This is a place for engineers who want to accelerate their careers by solving hard problems at scale.

As a Staff ML Engineer, you’ll take end-to-end ownership of production-grade ML solutions, from design to deployment and optimisation. This is a deeply hands-on role; you’ll be writing code, not just directing others. You will provide technical leadership, align ML capabilities with business priorities, and apply advanced statistical and causal inference methods to ensure robustness. This isn't a research-heavy role; it's about shipping impactful ML that drives growth.

The work

  • Design and optimise large-scale user reward schemes, adapting to real-time user behaviour and market dynamics.
  • Lead the implementation of personalised, real-time reward value systems that drive user engagement.
  • Develop ML solutions to diagnose underperforming campaigns and identify root causes of failure.
  • Provide technical leadership, setting best practices for production ML code and system design across projects.
  • Apply advanced statistical and causal inference methods to ensure model robustness and reliability in production.

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.
