Lead DevOps Engineer - Active SC Clearance

CLEARANCE: Candidates must hold active and transferable SC clearance granted within the last five years.

CLIENT AND PROJECT CONFIDENTIAL

We are looking for an experienced Lead DevOps Engineer to join a highly secure government programme, delivering modern and innovative technical solutions within a complex environment.

This is a senior position requiring someone with at least seven years' DevOps experience who can lead technical delivery, support and mentor junior engineers, and solve challenging problems using modern cloud, automation and containerisation technologies.

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.
