Platform Engineer – London
I’m working with a highly technical organisation in London that is looking for a Database Platform Engineer to help build and evolve the database services used across a large engineering environment.
What you’ll be working on:
- Running and scaling database platforms across on-prem and cloud environments
- Working with PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL and other modern database technologies
- Automating provisioning, upgrades, replication, monitoring and other operational processes
- Improving reliability, performance, capacity and resilience across critical database services
- Working with Linux, Python, Terraform, Ansible and modern infrastructure tooling
- Supporting services running across AWS, containers and Kubernetes
- Troubleshooting database performance, replication, indexing and query issues
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.

What makes the opportunity interesting:

- They’re particularly interested in people who have operated databases at scale and understand how to automate and improve them
- Strong DevOps or Platform backgrounds with solid database experience would be very relevant
- You don’t need to be a software developer, but some Python or scripting experience for automation is important
- You’ll get exposure across multiple database technologies, cloud, Kubernetes, observability and infrastructure automation
