Job Description

Our trading technology stack is undergoing a multi-year convergence and modernization journey. You will play a pivotal role in shaping our next-generation SRE patterns, reliability frameworks, observability strategy, and performance engineering capabilities across globally distributed systems. This role is ideal for an SRE specialist who thrives in fast-paced front-office environments, enjoys direct interaction with traders, and wants to influence the reliability culture of a major global trading organization.

  • Act as a trusted engineering partner to the desk, ensuring systems are stable, performant, and aligned with business needs.
  • Support live trading environments, including incident response, root cause analysis, and post mortem leadership. Work as a core member of the software engineering team, participating in daily standups and design discussions.
  • Contribute directly to the codebase (Java, Kotlin, Python) to implement reliability improvements, performance optimisations, bug fixes, and automation.
  • Lead the design and rollout of modern SRE patterns across trading systems, including automated remediation, self healing workflows, and resilience engineering.
  • Uses enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to accelerate major-incident triage, troubleshooting, and post-incident analysis, validating outputs and handling operational data according to sensitivity and security requirements.
  • Leads reuse-first adoption of AI-assisted reliability workflows across SDLC/toolchain practices (e.g., CI/CD quality checks, test/validation automation, and operational readiness), ensuring traceability/auditability, resiliency, and security controls.
  • Drive improvements in latency, throughput, and stability across high volume trading applications.
  • Build and maintain tooling for monitoring, alerting, and distributed tracing across global environments.
  • Operate within a globally distributed engineering and trading organization, collaborating with teams in EMEA, US, and APAC.
  • Partner with infrastructure, networking, cloud engineering, and cybersecurity teams to ensure end to end reliability.

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.
