Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you need
- Strong experience in AWS cloud architecture, with a focus on cloud-native design rather than purely migration-led work
- Background in platform engineering (preferred) or software engineering with demonstrable platform capability
- Experience designing and defining AWS reference architectures, patterns, and standards within enterprise-scale environments
- Solid understanding of AWS security and networking services (core services rather than niche tooling)
- Experience working with Infrastructure as Code and automation-first approaches
- Ability to work closely with stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into scalable cloud solutions
- Experience contributing to or supporting cloud migration programmes (end-to-end delivery not essential at mid-level)
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering teams
