Infrastructure Engineers – Cloud & VMware
Manchester | £50,000–£60,000 | Permanent
I’m working on two infrastructure engineering opportunities in Manchester: one focused on VMware and private cloud, the other with more emphasis on Azure and hybrid infrastructure.
Both would suit engineers who enjoy getting into complex issues, improving the platforms behind the service, and taking ownership beyond the initial fix.
Responsibilities
Depending on your strengths, the work could include:
- Supporting and improving VMware, Azure and Windows Server environments.
- Investigating third-line incidents across virtualization, storage, networking, and cloud infrastructure.
- Managing patching, firmware upgrades, monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery.
- Delivering platform changes, migrations, and infrastructure projects.
- Working with other engineers and vendors to resolve recurring problems and improve reliability.
- Documenting solutions and sharing knowledge with the wider team.
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.

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.
For the VMware-focused role, experience with ESXi/vCenter, SAN storage, and hosted or multi-tenant platforms would be particularly useful. For the cloud-focused role, I’d be keen to speak with engineers who have hands-on Azure infrastructure experience across VMs, networking, security, monitoring, or AVD.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You don’t need to cover both sides equally. If you’re strong in either VMware infrastructure or Azure cloud engineering and want to understand which role fits you better, get in touch.
Salary: £50,000–£60,000, depending on the role and experience. Office attendance differs between the two positions, so I can talk you through that upfront.
