Role Overview
Some infrastructure roles are about maintaining platforms. This one is about engineering the foundations on which investment decisions, trading systems and business-critical workloads depend.
A world-class global investment firm is building out its London Cloud SRE & DevOps Engineering capability and is looking for an exceptional mid-to-senior engineer to help shape the next generation of its technology platform.
This is not a ticket-driven support position. You will design platforms, automate infrastructure, solve difficult production problems and directly influence how engineering teams build and deploy software across the firm.
Why this opportunity stands out
- Ownership of business-critical infrastructure supporting sophisticated investment and trading systems
- The opportunity to engineer at scale across AWS, Kubernetes and distributed production environments
- Genuine influence over cloud architecture, reliability standards and platform strategy
- Close collaboration with outstanding software engineers, data specialists and cybersecurity teams
- Exposure to modern AI, machine learning and data-intensive workloads
- A high-calibre engineering culture where thoughtful automation and operational excellence are taken seriously
- Highly competitive compensation, including a substantial discretionary year-end bonus
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.
