Cloud Operations Engineer (AWS/Azure)
AWS Focused - Cheltenham, UK (Hybrid – 3 days in the office)
Azure Focused - London, UK (Hybrid – 3 days in the office)
Permanent
I'm currently working with one of the UK's leading fintech organizations, to recruit an experienced Cloud Operations Engineer to join their growing Cloud Operations team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys operating, supporting, and improving cloud environments rather than building cloud platforms from scratch.
Please note: This is not a Platform Engineering or pure DevOps role.
About the Role
You'll be responsible for the day-to-day operation, stability, security, and performance of AWS or Azure hosted production environments, working closely with Development, Infrastructure, and Security teams to ensure business-critical services remain available and resilient.
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.
