Role Summary
We are looking for a highly skilled Application Developer with strong expertise in identity API development, data ingestion and transformation, and event-driven (Pub/Sub) architectures. This role focuses on building secure, scalable identity and access workflows across Google Cloud Platform, integrating identity services with custom APIs, Pub/Sub pipelines, and cloud-native applications. You will collaborate closely with tech leads, Cloud Security, DevOps, and Application Engineering teams to design and implement robust IAM automation, identity lifecycle workflows, and secure service integrations that support enterprise-level cloud and Identity operations.
Key Responsibilities
Identity Orchestration
- Design and implement identity flows for provisioning, de-provisioning and orchestration of identity lifecycle events.
- Integrate with Cloud Identity Services, ServiceNow, and internal services to streamline / orchestrate identity provisioning and identity lifecycle management.
- Build policy-based orchestration workflows for adaptive authentication and context-aware access using industry standards (like OPA).
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.

- automated identity lifecycle tasks
- access review event triggers
- logging and audit forwarding
- security anomaly detection
- Build Cloud Functions, Cloud Run microservices, or containerized services to process Pub/Sub messages.
- Implement robust event-processing patterns including retries, idempotency, DLQs, and structured logging.
Automation & Infrastructure as Code
