Job Description
We’re looking for a DevOps engineer with knowledge of Google Cloud networking and a passion for creating secure, reliable, automated infrastructure at scale. You don’t need to tick every box — but should recognise yourself in most of the following:
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.

Why you're a good match
StrongYour economics background and your summer at a regional bank line up with what PwC looks for on the consulting scheme. Applications close in four weeks.
See breakdownIt 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.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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’s needed to be considered for this job?
- Hands-on engineering experience with GCP networking in enterprise environments — exposure to core services like VPCs, Cloud Interconnect, VPC Peering, Cloud Routers, Firewalls, DNS, Load balancers, Private Connectivity and Cloud / Hybrid NAT.
- Terraform expertise and experience deploying infrastructure as code.
- Practical DevOps experience using modern tooling (e.g., Git, Terraform, Terraform Cloud, GitHub, Harness).
- Taking time and doing it right — whether reviewing code, supporting colleagues, or resolving networking issues across production and non-production environments.
- Strong engineering discipline: designing, deploying, and owning services through their full lifecycle, with security, compliance and reliability built in.
About you
You enjoy working with challenges and building resilient, automated solutions at scale. You’re energised by how cloud networking underpins modern AI, data and hybrid-cloud architectures. You care about doing things the right way: secure, observable, automated and resilient – and work across teams to achieve it.
Nice to have (Not required — but great if you have some of them.)
- Experience maintaining large-scale GCP networking or hybrid connectivity environments.
- Network Connectivity Centre
- Understanding of how GCP networking supports key workloads (e.g., Compute, Database, storage, and data/AI platforms).
- Familiarity with Python or Bash for infrastructure automation.
- Knowledge of enterprise network concepts such as IP management, proxies, firewalls, Infoblox or identity platforms.
- Exposure to monitoring and telemetry systems (e.g., Dynatrace, Google Cloud Monitoring).
- Relevant GCP certifications or a background in cloud/infrastructure engineering.
