The Opportunity
We're working with a fast-moving organisation looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer. It's a hybrid role combining deep infrastructure expertise with a genuine client-facing mandate.
You won't just be building and running cloud infrastructure behind the scenes; you'll be sitting alongside clients day-to-day, translating technical AI capability into practical business outcomes, and shaping the solutions your infrastructure will support.
What You'll Do
- Client-facing (core requirement): Work directly with clients daily to understand business needs, explain AI in practical terms, and identify where AI/agentic workflows can add real value
- Design and own Azure infrastructure as code (Terraform/Bicep), version-controlled, peer-reviewed
- Own CI/CD pipelines end-to-end (GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps) automated build, test, and deploy
- Deliver zero-downtime deployments with rollback capability and production monitoring
- Implement security and compliance: secrets management, network isolation, encryption, audit logging, UAE data residency
- Build observability: logging, metrics, distributed tracing, alerting, and dashboards
- Lead incident response: on-call rotation, playbooks, root-cause post-mortems
- Coordinate releases across services, manage database migrations, and maintain runbooks
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 You'll Bring
- 5+ years in DevOps, infrastructure, or site reliability engineering
- Essential: demonstrable experience working closely with clients translating technical AI concepts into clear business language and shaping practical AI opportunities
- 3+ years with cloud platforms Azure (App Service, AKS, Azure SQL, Functions), AWS, or GCP
- Strong CI/CD pipeline design experience (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI)
- Infrastructure as Code expertise (Terraform, Bicep, or CloudFormation)
- Comfortable in Linux/Unix environments, with solid networking, storage, and security fundamentals
- Containerization and orchestration experience (Docker, Kubernetes)
