Operations Engineer

(Linux, AWS, Terraform)
Greater Manchester (Hybrid – 2 days onsite)
Salary up to £45,000 + Bonus

We have partnered with a Manchester-based technology and market research company looking to hire an Operations Engineer to join its growing infrastructure team. As the business continues to scale, they're investing in their cloud platforms and operational capabilities to support global data collection services.

You'll work within a collaborative Operations team, maintaining and improving Linux infrastructure, AWS environments and internal IT systems. It's a hands-on role focused on automation, reliability and cloud technologies, making it an excellent opportunity for someone looking to further develop their AWS and Infrastructure-as-Code skills.

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.
