DevOps / Platform Engineer
Everything ships through the pipeline you own. We're hiring a DevOps / Platform Engineer to run the delivery platform behind a large regulated UK organisation's services, keeping deployments fast, safe and boring in the best way.
What You'll Do
- Run and improve OpenShift and Kubernetes environments on AWS.
- Own CI/CD across GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD and Nexus.
- Keep security and dependencies in check with Snyk and Renovate.
- Manage feature delivery with LaunchDarkly and monitoring with Splunk and Dynatrace.
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.
What We're Looking For
- Strong AWS experience.
- Strong OpenShift or Kubernetes experience.
- Deep CI/CD experience across GitHub Actions, Jenkins and ArgoCD.
- Hands-on with observability tooling like Splunk and Dynatrace.
- A security-first, automation-first way of working.
- Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools like GitHub Copilot as part of your everyday workflow.
Bonus points for LaunchDarkly, Renovate, Snyk and financial services experience.
