The opportunity
Our client is a fast-growing London technology business serving the financial services sector, and is building its own data centre from the ground up on Apache CloudStack. This is a rare chance to join early and get hands-on with every layer of a new private cloud, from bare-metal hosts and networking to the CloudStack platform running on top.
What you'll be doing
- Deploying and managing CloudStack infrastructure across zones, pods, clusters and KVM hosts.
- Managing VMs, templates, storage and networking within the platform.
- Supporting Linux and KVM hosts, including builds, patching and troubleshooting.
- Monitoring the platform and investigating incidents through to root cause.
- Helping commission new hardware and compute capacity as the data centre grows.
- Documenting configurations and processes as the environment is built.
- Working closely with senior engineers on upgrades, changes and automation.
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.

Desirable
- An understanding of storage concepts such as NFS, iSCSI or Ceph.
- Scripting or automation experience in Bash, Python or Ansible.
- Experience with system VMs, virtual routers or CloudStack networking models.
- Experience with other virtualisation platforms, such as Proxmox or VMware.
