HPC & Linux Infrastructure Consultant
Cambridge (Hybrid)
£500-£550 / Day Outside IR35 - 3 Month Contract
A genuinely hands-on HPC opportunity for an engineer who enjoys getting stuck into complex infrastructure.
This is an opportunity to join a technically ambitious environment where your Linux and HPC expertise will have an immediate impact. You'll be brought in to assess and improve an existing computational platform, while also helping keep the underlying infrastructure running reliably day to day.
You'll have the freedom to identify where things can be improved, make recommendations, and then get involved in delivering those changes.
Role Style & Setup
This is a hands-on consulting engagement, rather than a pure review or advisory assignment. You'll work alongside the existing Infrastructure team, balancing operational support with targeted improvement work.
You'll be expected to get under the bonnet of the environment, understand how it currently operates, identify areas holding it back, and turn those findings into practical improvements.
Reasons to use Rodeo

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.
