The opportunity

Birchwell Associates is supporting a growing technology business in the search for a DevOps Engineer. This is an opportunity to take ownership of cloud infrastructure, deployment automation and operational reliability within a modern engineering environment.

  • Develop and support CI/CD pipelines that enable reliable, repeatable software delivery.
  • Improve monitoring, logging, alerting and operational visibility across production systems.
  • Work with software engineers to improve deployment practices, resilience and release confidence.
  • Support containerised services and orchestration platforms across development and production environments.
  • Contribute to security, backup, disaster recovery and operational best practice.

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.
