We’re building something powerful. Let’s build it together. We've delivered high-performance embedded computing solutions for four decades across industries including defence, telecoms, and aerospace. We’re proud to be experts in what we do and are looking for more people to join our brilliant team.

The Role

The DevOps Engineer is a key enabler of engineering excellence, responsible for designing, securing, and evolving the platforms, tools, and processes that underpin software delivery across the business. With end-to-end ownership of the engineering technology landscape, this role drives innovation, automation, and continuous improvement, ensuring teams have the capabilities they need to build, deploy, and operate world-class solutions.

Working at the intersection of Engineering, IT, Security, and business stakeholders, the DevOps Engineer influences technology strategy, delivers transformative tooling and platform capabilities, and creates a secure, scalable, and high-performing engineering environment that supports the organisation's growth and future ambitions.

What will I be delivering:

Engineering Systems Ownership

  • Own and manage all engineering software platforms and tools (e.g. CAD/EDA tools, simulation software, CI/CD pipelines, version control, requirements management, build systems, test and deployment tooling).
  • Act as the technical authority for engineering systems, ensuring reliability, performance, and scalability.
  • Manage system lifecycles including evaluation, deployment, upgrades, support, and decommissioning.

Solution Scoping & Architecture

  • Work with Engineering, Product, and IT stakeholders to understand requirements and pain points.
  • Scope, assess, and recommend appropriate tools and solutions, balancing capability, cost, security, and compliance.
  • Design and maintain DevOps and engineering system architectures, including on-premise, hybrid, and cloud solutions where appropriate.
  • Ensure tooling aligns with business growth, engineering roadmaps, and operational resilience requirements.

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.
