AWS Cloud Engineer
Manchester or London | Hybrid | National Security
I'm working with a leading National Security and Defence organisation to find an experienced AWS / DevOps Engineer to join a growing engineering team in Manchester or London.
The Role
This is a genuinely hands-on cloud engineering role, working on complex systems supporting UK National Security customers. You'll work within an autonomous DevOps team, taking ownership across the full lifecycle.
- Design, build, and maintain modern AWS-based applications and services while working closely with software and cloud engineers.
- Genuine technical ownership: The opportunity to influence technology decisions and exposure to a variety of customers and engineering environments.
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.
