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.
Key Responsibilities
- IaC & Platform Delivery: Design and build production-ready IaC using Terraform and Terragrunt, creating modular, reusable Azure platform templates and landing zone patterns.

- Platform Quality: Embed observability (monitoring, logging, alerting), resilience, security, and FinOps principles directly into platform assets.
- Co-Delivery & Knowledge Transfer: Work closely alongside client engineering teams to pair, document patterns, and upskill internal engineers so they can operate the platform independently.
